In a preferred embodiment, in at least a portion of the oscillator the pump is made to propagate in an optical path excluding the resonated signal (nonresonant idler SRO). In this portion and in the signal resonator the round-trip optical path lengths of the pump and resonated signals, respectively, are varied in accordance with a prescribed relationship. The path lengths may be altered by several means including transparent wedges, gas cells, rotating plates or piezoelectric crystals mounted on appropriate mirrors.,下面是Continuously tunable optical parametric oscillator专利的具体信息内容。
