Researchers from the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Universities of Maryland and Colorado have developed an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) light source which can produce output light that is a very different colour, or wavelength, than the input light. In addition to creating light at visible wavelengths, the OPO simultaneously generates ...
