Zusammenfassung:A tunable laser source has a first laser source to generate a low power continuous wave laser light having a wavelength lambda1. A second laser source generates a low power continuous wave laser light having a wavelength mu2. A pump laser source generates a high power pulsed laser light having a wavelength lambda0. A first optical parametric amplifier (OPA) receives the laser light having a wavelength lambda1 and the laser light having a wavelength lambda0 and generates a high power pulsed laser light having a wavelength lambda1. A second optical parametric amplifier (OPA) receives the laser light having a wavelength lambda2 and the laser light having a wavelength lambda0 to and generates a high power pulsed laser light having a wavelength lambda2. A difference frequency generator (DFG), receives the high power pulsed laser light having a wavelength lambda1 and the high power pulsed laser light having a wavelength lambda2 and provides a high power pulsed laser light having a wavelength lambda3 wherein lambda3=lambda1*lambda2/(lambda2-lambda1).
