Abstract
The
current status of fiber based optical parametric oscillators is presented
with a focus on pulsed systems employing microstructure fibers. It is shown
based on standard expressions for parametric processes in optical fibers that
systems employing short (less than a few cm) optical fibers lead to superior
performance in terms of wavelength tunability and output power. Practical
guidelines for realizing a working system are given. These devices are now
practical as ultrafast pulsed-light sources and for extending the wavelengths
of operation of existing mode-locked fiber lasers.
