Abstract
Narrowband injection seeding can provide continuous tunability and optical bandwidth control in pulsed optical parametric oscillator (OPO) devices suitable for practical spectroscopy. Studies of OPOs based on β-barium borate (BBO) have used either dye lasers1-3 or external-cavity diode lasers (ECDLs)3-5 as seed sources. The injection-seeded OPO cavity can be operated passively, with the cavity length fixed, by slightly misaligning the cavity to reduce its effective finesse.
