本研究使用高功率(最大5 W)、高重複率(80 MHz)的摻鐿鎖模光纖雷射提供中心波長1030 nm、寬度560 fs的幫浦脈衝，另外注入波長1520□1632 nm的連續波(continuous-wave, CW)雷射，利用週期性區域反轉鈮酸鋰(periodically poled lithium niobate, PPLN)滿足光參產生(optical parametric generation, OPG)所需之准相位匹配(quasi-phase match, QPM)條件，輸出以CW波長為中心的高重複率訊號脈衝。實驗上我們先在未注入CW雷射下量測OPG訊號頻譜與PPLN溫度、幫浦強度的關係，驗證系統的可靠性。接著探討注入CW雷射對OPG訊號特性的一系列影響，包括：訊號頻寬、非線性轉換效率、訊號中心波長、訊號同調性、輸出功率穩定性。文中亦將實驗結果與理論模擬及參考文獻做對照，並總結此技術的性能及限制。
