Abstract
Noise plays a very important role in synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillators (SPOPOs). For example, these devices have been suggested as tunable source of short pulses [1]. However, in Ref. [2] it was shown that in the pulse compression regime the signal pulses may suffer from considerable noise-induced jitter. In the context of quantum optics, optical parametric oscillators have been suggested as a tool to amplify and detect quantum fluctuations [3]. However, this requires very large amplification factors.
