Abstract

A tunable, optical, parametric oscillator including at least one non-linear optical crystal (10) comprises a first deflector mirror (18) arranged inside the resonator between the resonator mirror (12) and the crystal (10) to couple in the pump radiation (16) as well as a second deflector mirror (20) arranged outside the resonator behind a second resonator mirror (14) to separate the pump radiation (22) from the radiation (24) generated in the optical parametric oscillator.
