Broadly tunable carrier envelope phase stable optical parametric amplifier pumped by a monolithic ytterbium fiber amplifier.
In an effort to develop a robust and efficient front end for a chirped-pulse parametric amplification chain, we demonstrate a broadband difference-frequency converter driven by a monolithic femtosecond Yb-doped-fiber amplifier and emitting carrier-envelope-offset-free pulses with the energy of tens of nanojoules tunable in the wavelength range from 1200 nm to beyond 2 mum. Next to providing the...
متن کاملNoncollinear Phase Matching in Optical Parametric Chirped-Pulse Amplification
Optical parametric chirped pulse amplication (OPCPA) is a method used to generate high-powered laser pulses. In this process, energy fiom a "pump" pulse is used to amplify a signal "seed" pulse. A computer program based on an analytical model was written and used to demonstrate the influence of noncollinearity, a condition in which the pump and seed are not parallel, and crystal tilt on the sig...
متن کاملOptical parametric oscillators pumped by population-trapped atoms.
We describe an optical parametric oscillator that is pumped by population-trapped atoms that are prepared with maximum coherence. The oscillator is based on the use of an effective nonlinear susceptibility that is of the same order as the linear susceptibility. Because the parametric gain is obtained in a single coherence length, the gain bandwidth can exceed the degenerate frequency. In Pb vap...
متن کاملBidirectional, synchronously pumped, ring optical parametric oscillator.
We report the operation of a bidirectional femtosecond pulsed ring optical parametric oscillator based on periodically poled lithium niobate, pumped alternately with nonsimultaneous pulses from a Ti:sapphire mode-locked laser. A beat note between the two counterpropagating beams attests to a gyro response without dead band. The sensitivity of the device to differential phase changes is demonstr...
متن کاملHigh-energy two-cycle pulses at 3.2 μm by a broadband-pumped dual-chirped optical parametric amplification.
A design for efficient generation of mid-infrared pulses at 3.2 μm is presented, which is based on numerical simulations of the broadband-pumped dual-chirped optical parametric amplification (DC-OPA) in LiNbO3 doped with 5 mol.% MgO (MgO:LiNbO3). The broadband seed can be generated by difference frequency generation in KTA using spectrally-broadened Ti:Sapphire lasers. The...
