Abstract :
This work demonstrates a fiber optical parametric oscillator with multi-watt level output power over a 450 nm tuning range around 1550 nm. The tunability of the oscillator is a result of the wide frequency tunability of phasematched four-wave-mixing possible when pumping close to the zero dispersion wavelength (ZDW) of an optical fiber.
