The authors report how they have obtained optical parametric oscillation tunable over the 940--1220 nm spectral region from a monolithic magnesium oxide doped lithium niobate ring resonator. The monolithic OPO was pumped by the 532 nm second harmonic of a diode laser pumped single frequency {ital Q}-switched Nd:YAG laser. The exceptional frequency and amplitude stability of the single frequency pump source provided stable OPO output pulses.
