An all-solid-state optical parametric oscillator (OPO) has been developed in which the signal and idler waves can be tuned over the ranges 455-665 and 760-1620 nm, respectively, with the potential for covering the entire range 420-2300 nm. The OPO uses a critical type I phase-matching geometry in li...
