Bandwidth enhancement for parametric amplifiers operated in chirped multi-beam mode
In this paper we discuss the bandwidth enhancement that can be achieved in multi-Joule optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) systems exploiting the tunability of parametric amplification. In particular, we consider a pair of single pass amplifiers based on potassium dideuterium phosphate (DKDP), pumped by the second harmonic of Nd:glass and tuned to amplify adjacent regions of ...
متن کاملMulti-Pole Bandwidth Enhancement Technique for Transimpedance Amplifiers
A new technique for bandwidth enhancement of amplifiers is developed. Adding several passive networks, which can be designed independently, enables the control of transfer function and frequency response behavior. Parasitic capacitances of cascaded gain stages are isolated from each other and absorbed into passive networks. A simplified design procedure, using well-known filter component values...
متن کاملDevelopment of Optical Parametric Chirped-Pulse Amplifiers and Their Applications
In this work, optical pulse amplification by parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA) has been applied to the generation of high-energy, few-cycle optical pulses in the near-infrared (NIR) and infrared (IR) spectral regions. Amplification of such pulses is ordinarily difficult to achieve by existing techniques of pulse amplification based on standard laser gain media followed by external ...
متن کاملCoherent beam combining of two femtosecond fiber chirped-pulse amplifiers.
We demonstrate coherent beam combining of two femtosecond fiber chirped-pulse amplifiers seeded by a common oscillator. Using a feedback loop based on an electro-optic phase modulator, an average power of 7.2 W before compression is obtained with a combining efficiency of 90%. The spatial and temporal qualities of the oscillator are retained, with a recombined pulse width of 325 fs. This experi...
متن کاملMethods for Compensating Thermal Mode Distortions in High Average Power Chirped Pulse Amplifiers
Further development of a solid state, high average power, chirped pulse amplifier is presented. The design of a container filled with an optical gel, OCF-446, with a negative dT dn to compensate for thermal lensing effects in the amplifier is discussed along with designs of a thermoelectric cooling system for the solid state Ti:sapphire crystal in the amplifier. The container is a variable widt...
