Types of OPO’s
OPOs can use a wide range of laser pump beams. The pump lasers can be continuous or pulsed. Pulsed pump lasers might have almost any pulse length, ranging from Q-switched lasers to mode-locked lasers. The OPO will generally produce output with a temporal profile similar to the pump laser. CW pumps drive CW OPOs; pulsed pumps drive pulsed OPOs.
