Abstract

We report on a high power ultra-broadband, quickly tunable non-collinear parametric oscillator with highly efficient intra-cavity sum-frequency generation. It simultaneously delivers femtosecond pulses in two synchronized output beams: up to 4.9 W tunable from 650 to 1050 nm in the near infrared and up to 1.9 W from 380 to 500 nm in the visible spectral range. The (to our knowledge) novel source is ideally suited for spectroscopy or multi-color imaging. First results of two-color functional microscopy are presented.
