Abstract
We report an actively mode-locked continuous-wave (cw) optical
parametric oscillator in singly resonant oscillator (SRO) configuration,
generating stable 230 ps pulses at 80 MHz repetition rate. The
idler-resonant cw SRO, configured in standing-wave cavity, is based on MgO:sPPLT
as the nonlinear gain material and pumped at 532 nm. Mode-locking is
achieved by direct deployment of an intracavity phase modulator close to one of
the SRO cavity end mirrors. The effects of modulation depth and modulation
frequency on mode-locked pulse duration and repetition rate are investigated for
both idler and signal pulses. Mode-locking is further confirmed by enhancement
of single-pass second-harmonic generation of SRO output in the crystal of
