Abstract :
We report a stable, high-power, Yb-fiber-pumped, dual-wavelength picosecond OPO at 160 MHz, generating signal-idler wavelength pairs that are independently tunable across near-to-mid-IR, with no coherent coupling even at degeneracy, providing watt-level output power in excellent beam quality.
