Abstract
Parametric oscillators have recently gained wider acceptance as sources of visible and infrared tunable coherent radiation. Their acceptance has come about due to improvements in the laser pump sources and in the nonlinear crystals which have led to wider tuning ranges at substantially higher peak and average powers than previously available.
