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