  • Abstract
    The paper presents the review of the latest works at the University of Moscow in the field of pulsed parametric oscillators and the new application of parametric light interaction-nonlinear spectrograph. This spectrograph is based on the steep frequency dependence of phase-matched angles for nonlinear mixing processes. Two new types of oscillators are considered: one having a cavity without dielectric coatings, the other a travelling-wave oscillator that is really an amplifier of parametric superluminescence. The latter has a narrow spectrum of radiation (1-2 Å). The most possible applications of oscillators and their necessary characteristics are given.
