The figures are as follows: Fig. 2 (a) Output powers and total conversion efficiencies for the fundamental operation. (b) Signal and idler spectra at the maximum output power for the fundamental operation. Fig. 3 Measured signal central wavelength shift at different pump powers and their corresponding calculated temperatures inside the OP-GaAs sample. Insets: example spectra at signal peak wavelengths of 3371, 3359, and 3327 nm. Fig. 4 Spectra of the GSLD-seeded Tm:MOPA at maximum output power but different repetition rates. Inset shows the enlarged details of the spectra at the peak. Fig. 5 Signal (a) and idler (b) output powers at 100 – 800 MHz repetition rates. Fig. 6 (a) Signal and idler spectra at a repetition rate of 1 GHz. (b) Total output powers for the variable repetition-rate OPO. Fig. 7 Example pulses from the Tm:MOPA with a pulse duration of 95, 300, 600, 800 ps and 1.1. ns. Fig. 8 (a) Total output powers from the variable pulse-duration OPO. (b) An example depleted pump shape compared with its original shape at a pulse duration 800 ps. Blue line shows the calculated parametric output pulses.
