We report a high power picosecond synchronously pumped periodically poled LiNbO3 optical parametric oscillator continuously tunable between 1.7 and 2.841 μm. Up to 7.7 W signal at 1.85 μm and 4.7 W. Idler radiation at 2.5 μm is simultaneously extracted from 17.7 W average pump power at 1.064 μm, corresponding to a total external efficiency of 70%.
