We developed an intracavity synchronously pumped optical parametrical oscillator, generating two independent trains of picosecond pulses at wavelength 1540 nm. We have improved and optimized experimental setup from the point of view of achievability of stable mode-locking and compensation of astigma

✦ Synopsis
The operation of a picosecond synchronously intracavity
pumped optical parametric oscillator (OPO) is reported. A
magnesium doped lithium niobate crystal (MgO:PPLN), periodically
poled, is used as the optical parametric oscillator crystal
coupling the pump and the resonant signal cavities. The active
medium of the pump cavity is a a diode pumped passively
mode-locked Nd:YVO~4~ crystal. Continuous mode-locked operation
was achieved, tunable from 1531 to 1554 nm by adjusting the OPO
crystal from 31 to 55°C. The spectral width of the
generated radiation was 2 nm.

We report an intracavity optical parametric oscillator at 1.57 µm based on non-critically nonlinear crystal KTP driven by an end-pumped acousto-optically Q-switched Nd:LuVO 4 crystal. The output characteristics of 1.57 µm were studied with different pulse repetition frequency. The pulse width of 5ns
An effective supercontinuum (SC) generation is demonstrated by injecting picosecond self Q-switched mode-locked Nd:GdVO~4~ laser pulses into a 1-m long microstructured fiber. The laser is operated at wavelength 100-nm away from the longer zero-dispersion of this dual zero-dispersion wavelength micro
