Abstract :
Summary form only given. The spatial distribution of the transmitted pump of a synchronously pumped periodically poled LiNbO3 optical parametric oscillator is measured using a optical fiber coupled fast photodiode and sampling-head oscilloscope. Evidence of temporally and spatially resolved backconversion is observed
