Development and characterisation of a near-infrared femtosecond optical parametric oscillator frequency comb

This thesis describes a 280 MHz MgO:PPLN-based optical parametric oscillator (OPO) synchronously pumped by a 50 fs Ti:sapphire laser to produce ultrafast pulses in the near-infrared. The OPO tuned over a wavelength range from 1450 - 1550 nm and 1624 - 1750 nm for the signal and idler respectively. T...
