Abstract

An optical parametric amplifier that delivers nearly transform limited pulses is presented. The center wavelength of these pulses can be tuned between 993 nm and 1070 nm and, at the same time, the pulse duration is varied between 206 fs and 650 fs. At the shortest pulse duration the pulse energy was increased up to 7.2 µJ at 50 kHz repetition rate. Variation of the wavelength is achieved by applying a tunable cw seed while the pulse duration can be varied via altering the pump pulse duration. This scheme offers superior flexibility and scaling possibilities.

Figures (8)
Fig. 1
Fig. 1 Working principle of cw seeded optical parametric amplifier. The left hand side shows how the pump pulse switches the nonlinearity on and off. On the right hand side the temporal behaviour of pump, signal and idler pulses are shown, respectively. Typically, the signal pulses possess a strong cw background while the idler is only generated in a time frame that is governed by the pump pulse duration. Note that the duration of the idler beam is typically much shorter than the pump pulse due to the nonlinear interaction.

Fig. 2 (a) Duration (FWHM) of the idler pulses generated by a 650 fs (FWHM) Gaussian (black) or Sech2 (red) shaped pump pulse with respect to the pump intensity (peak intensity of the pump). (b) Idler pulse duration with respect to the pump pulse duration (Gaussian-black, Sech2-red) for a fixed peak intensity of 22 GW/cm2. Both simulations have been carried out for a 4 mm BBO crystal, λp = 515 nm, λs = 1030 nm and λi = 1030 nm.

Fig. 4 Experimental setup of the cw seeded optical parametric amplifier. The second harmonic (SHG) of a fiber chirped pulse amplification system (FCPA) is used to pump the first OPA stage that utilizes a 4 mm BBO crystal. The second OPA stage pumped by the remainder of the pump is then seeded with the idler from the first stage.
