High efficient CEP-stabilized infrared optical parametric amplifier made from a BBO single crystal

We demonstrate an efficient tunable phase-stabilized near-infrared optical parametric amplifier (OPA) made from a BBO (β -BaB₂O₄) single crystal in this paper. By using the seeded white-light continuum produced by CEP(carrier envelop phase)-stabilized femtosecond laser amplifier system which is seeded into the two stages of a type II OPA system, the pump-to-signal conversion efficiency of 34% can be achieved at 1350 nm. The CEP jitter of amplified pulses measured by an f–2f interferometer is 137 mrad in 30 minutes. This paper demonstrates a simple, feasible and efficient way to produce tunable femtosecond pulses with CEP control.
