    Experimental setup for the 1.13 GHz ring cavity OPO. DM1,2: dichroic mirror, HWP1,2: half-wave plate, PBS: polarizing beam splitter, L1: lens of f=100 mm, CM1, CM2: concave spherical mirrors, M1: plane mirror, OC: 3% output coupler.
    (a) Output power of the signal at 720 nm versus the pump power, and (b) the normalized signal tuning range and the corresponding average power.
    (a) Pulse train of the pump laser, (b) pulse train of the 1.13 GHz signal pulses, which is 15 times that of the pump laser, and (c) the RF spectrum of the 1.13 GHz signal laser at a 2.5 GHz span with a 1 MHz resolution.
    (a) Measured signal pulse temporal profile at 780 nm and corresponding spectrum, and (b) measured spatial profile of a 1.13 GHz signal laser.
    Red curve, phase noise PSD of the signal from 1 Hz to 10 MHz. Blue curve, phase noise PSD of the pump from 1 Hz to 10 MHz. Black curve, IPN of the signal from 1 Hz to 10 MHz.
