ABSTRACT:
The operation of a .beta.-BaB.sub.2 O.sub.4 optical parametric oscillator is disclosed. The oscillator is tunable in the visible and near infrared. For example, a .beta.-BaB.sub.2 O.sub.4 crystal 10.5.times.10.5 nm.sup.2 .times.11.5 mm, cut at .theta.=30.degree. was pumped at 354.7 mm, and was tunable through 0.45-1.68 .mu.m, with a total energy conversion efficiency of 9.4%.
