摘要：
The operation of a continuous-wave mode-locked silver gallium selenide (AgGaSe2) optical parametric oscillator (OPO) is reported. The OPO was synchronously excited by 120-fs-long pulses of 1.55-mu m radiation at a repetition rate of 82 MWz. The 1.55-mu m radiation is generated by a noncritically phasematched cesium-titanyl-arsenate (CTA)-OPO pumped by a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser. The AgGaSe2-OPO generates signal and idler radiation in the range from 1.93 mu m to 2.49 mu m and from 4.1 mu m to 7.9 mu m, respectively. Up to 67 mW of signal wave output power has been obtained. The experimentally determined pulse duration and chirp parameters are in reasonable agreement with results from a numerical model taking into account group velocity mismatch, group velocity dispersion, self phase modulation, and chirp enhancement.
