Abstract
A synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator (OPO) using a temperature-tuned 90.degree. phase matched LBO crystal is disclosed which provides a broad selection of output wavelengths. A Ti:Sapphire pump source having a cavity length matched to the OPO cavity length pumps a cavity with an LBO crystal located at the cavity waist of the cavity mode.
