Abstract
A method for generating ultrashort femtosecond pulses in the optical parametric oscillator pumped by long pulses, comprising governing dispersion and nonlinearity in the optical parametric oscillator, forming linearly-chirped long pulses with broad bandwidth in the optical parametric oscillator, compressing the linearly-chirped long pulses to femtosecond pulses by a second-order dispersion outside the optical parametric oscillator cavity. The ultrashort femtosecond pulse is generated in the OPO with long pulse pumping.
