The figures are as follows: Fig. 2 Spectra of the gain-switched seed diode, and spectra at the outputs of the 0.2-nm and 0.5-nm spectral filter. Fig. 3 (a) Output powers from TDFA4 and an associated linear fit. Inset: Temporal profile of the pulses from TDFA4 at maximum output power; (b) TDFA4 spectra at different output power levels. Inset: TDFA4 spectra at maximum output power shown for a wider wavelength range. Fig. 4 (a) Output powers and conversion efficiencies from the OP-GaAs OPO; (b) OPO output powers comparison with chopper and without chopper. Fig. 5 (a) Tunability of the signal and idler from the OP-GaAs OPO; (b) Typical spectra of generated signal and idler. Fig. 6 Beam qualities of generated signal and idler both at low and high pump power.
