A tunable coherent light source includes a pump laser for generating a
pump beam and an optical parametric oscillator including a crystal
exhibiting an output curve for a pump beam of a defined wavelength, the
output curve defining wavelengths of signal and idler outputs based on
periodically poled grating periods of the crystal. The crystal has a
plurality of segments associated with a plurality of grating periods of
the output curve, each segment of the plurality of segments having a
different crystal structure. At least one of the plurality of segments
comprises a crystal structure combining at least two of the grating
periods A heating device heats the crystal to an elevated operating
temperature and is adjustable for adjusting the output wavelengths of
each of the segments.
