We report the design and characterization of a femtosecond optical parametric oscillator containing an intracavity Herriott cell. Pumped by a 49.16-MHz Yb:fiber laser, the signal wavelength could be tuned over 1440-1530 nm, with the Herriott cell containing 81% of the free-space cavity length requir...
