  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. For the reduction of the spectral bandwidth of optical parametric oscillators (OPO´s) to values below 1 GHz the use of grazing-incidence (GI) grating has been demonstrated successfully. Even single longitudinal mode (SLM) operation is feasible. A GIOPO device uses the favourable intrinsic properties of nonlinear crystals and can be tuned over a wide spectral range. SLM operation and a large scan range have been demonstrated with a BaB/sub 2/O/sub 4/ GIOPO, where a signal range of 460-630 nm could be covered.
