We have observed the spectral and temporal characteristics of a 1.064-mm pumped, continuously tunable optical parametric oscillator (OPO) using a periodically poled lithium niobate nonlinear crystal. An efficient secondary OPO pumped by the resonant signal of the primary OPO was observed. Predictions obtained from theory agree with observed results and provide insight into the dynamics of pulsed parametric oscillation. 1997 Optical Society of America.
