High-temporal contrast using low-gain optical parametric amplification.
We demonstrate the use of low-gain optical parametric amplification (OPA) as a means of improving temporal contrast to a detection-limited level 10(-10). 250 microJ, 500 fs pulses of 1053 nm are frequency doubled and subsequently restored to the original wavelength by OPA with >10% efficiency.

LLE Review, Volume 111 135 Introduction Laser–matter interactions in new regimes have occurred due to the generation of high-intensity optical pulses using largescale laser systems.1 The interaction regime of a laser pulse with a target is basically set by the peak intensity of the pulse, which is fundamentally proportional to the ratio of the pulse energy to the duration of the pulse and surfa...
متن کاملUltrashort pulse temporal contrast enhancement based on noncollinear optical-parametric amplification.
A pulse clean technique in time domain combining noncollinear optical-parametric amplification and second-harmonic generation is demonstrated. The measurement-limited >10(10) temporal contrast ratio of the 0.5 mJ/40 fs pulse near 800 nm is obtained over a large temporal range extending from <1 ps before the main pulse. The contrast ratio enhancement as fourth power of the initial contrast is de...
متن کاملPlasmonic Amplification with Ultra-High Optical Gain at Room Temperature
Nanoplasmonic devices are promising for next generation information and communication technologies because of their capability to confine light at subwavelength scale and transport signals with ultrahigh speeds. However, ohmic losses are inherent to all plasmonic devices so that further development of integrated plasmonics requires efficient in situ loss compensation of signals with a wavelengt...
متن کاملHigh-conversion-efficiency optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification system using spatiotemporally shaped pump pulses.
High-conversion-efficiency, high-stability optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification is demonstrated with a spatiotemporally shaped pump laser system. Broadband 5-mJ pulses are produced at a 5-Hz repetition rate with a pump-to-signal conversion efficiency of 29% and energy stability better than 2% rms. To our knowledge this is the highest conversion efficiency and stability achieved in an ...
