Abstract: An investigation was made of the lasing characteristics of a BBO-crystal Type-I optical parametric oscillator pumped by the 4th harmonic of a multimode Nd:YAG laser. The output was tunable over the range 300 — 2340 nm. The efficiency ranged up to 15% near the peak of the tunability curve at double the oscillation threshold.
