Abstract
The generation of parametric fluorescence with picosecond pulses has recently enjoyed a revival. This is partly due to the availability of suitable pump sources, namely regenerative amplifiers, capable of producing picosecond pulses with pulse energies on the order of milli joules at repetition rates of several kilohertz. With such lasers it is easy to generate high power densities necessary for an efficient conversion in a nonlinear crystal1,2,3.
