Abstract

We describe a compact, reliable, high-power, and high-contrast noncollinear optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier system. With a broadband Ti:sapphire oscillator and grating-based stretching and compression, the chirped pulses are amplified from 0.1 nJ to 122 mJ in type I beta-barium borate optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifiers with a total gain of over 10(9) at 10 Hz repetition rate. Pulse compression down to 19-fs duration achieved after amplification indicates a peak power of 3.2 TW at an average power of 0.62 W. The prepulse contrast is measured to be less than 10(-8) on picosecond time scales.

摘要

我们描述了一种紧凑、可靠、高功率且高对比度的非共线光学参量啁啾脉冲放大系统。利用宽带钛宝石振荡器以及基于光栅的展宽和压缩，啁啾脉冲在I型β-硼酸钡光学参量啁啾脉冲放大器中从0.1 nJ放大至122 mJ，在10 Hz重复频率下总增益超过10⁹。放大后实现了脉宽压缩至19 fs，这表明在平均功率为0.62 W时峰值功率为3.2 TW。在皮秒时间尺度上测得的预脉冲对比度小于10⁻⁸。
