The invention relates to an apparatus () for producing short synchronous radiation pulses at different wavelengths, particularly to an optically parametric oscillator, comprising at least one pump radiation source (), preferably a pump laser, for outputting radiation at a pump wavelength, and a resonator () having a wavelength-dependent effective resonator length, wherein the resonator () has a non-linear wavelength converter () for producing radiation at a first and a second wavelength; a dispersive element () having a strong wavelength-dependent delay characteristic; and a coupling-out element () for at least partially coupling-out the radiation from the resonator (). In addition, the invention relates to a method for producing short radiation pulses by means of an apparatus (), particularly an optically parametric oscillator.
