The operation of a Ti:sapphire-pumped, femtosecond optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on the nonlinear material KTiOPO{sub 4} is described. By empirically optimizing the parametric interaction geometry, we have extended the maximum idler wavelength beyond that reported for similar systems. The OPO typically produces 175-fs idler and signal pulses tunable in the ranges of 2.9--3.96 and 1.05--1.16 {mu}m, respectively. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital Optical} {ital Society} {ital of} {ital America}.
