Abstract :
A synchronously pumped picosecond fiber-optical parametric oscillator was demonstrated with fixed pump wavelength and with a 50-m highly nonlinear dispersion-shifted fiber as parametric gain medium. Time-dispersion-tuning offered a continuously wavelength tuning range as wide as 150 nm from 1413 to 1478 nm and from 1610 to 1695 nm with a pulsewidth of 10 ps.
