A Phase-Controlled Optical Parametric Amplifier Pumped by Two Phase-Distorted Laser Beams

We theoretically study the phase characteristic of optical parametric amplification （OPA） or chirped pulse OPA （OPCPA） pumped by two phase-distorted laser beams. In the two-beam-pumped optical parametric amplification （TBOPA）, due to spatial walk-off, both of the pump phase distortions will be partly transferred to signal in a single crystal so as to degrade the signal beam-quality, which will be more serious in high-energy OPCPA. An OPA configuration with a walkoff-compensated crystal pair is demonstrated for reducing the signal phase distortion experienced in the first stage and ensuring the signal phase independent of two pump phase distortions through the second crystal, hence maintaining the signal beam-quality. Such a TBOPA is similar to the conventional quantum laser amplifier by means of eliminating its sensitivity to the phase and number of the pump beams.     

Induced Diffraction in Phase-Mismatched Second-Harmonic Generation

We show analytically that in phase-mismatched second-harmonic generation, an effective diffraction is induced at the second-harmonic （SH） frequency. Numerical simulation results agree with the analytical predictions. Compared to the case of linear propagation, the effect of the overall diffraction at the SH frequency becomes doubled due to the induced diffraction, which causes an interesting result that the SH beam width will be larger than that of the fundamental field.     

Generation of the cascaded fifth-order nonlinear phase shifts with femtosecond pulse

Due to group velocity mismatch, the generation of the cascaded fifth-order nonlinear phase shifts with femtosecond pulse will inevitably cause the severe pulse distortion. By theoretical study and numerical simulations, we show that undistorted femtosecond pulse which is impressed the cascaded fifth-order nonlinear phase shifts can be obtained at large values of the phase mismatching △κL.

Second Harmonic Generation of Femtosecond Laser at One Micron in a Partially Deuterated KDP

Partially deuterated KDP is an ideal nonlinear crystal for second-harmonic generation （SHG） of femtosecond lasers at 1 μm, which features with vanished group-velocity mismatch at its retracing point of phase-matching. We numerically investigate the characteristics of SHG with femtosecond lasers in a partially deuterated KDP, which shows that group-velocity dispersion plays an important role. This spectrally non-critical phase-matching configuration can support both high efficiency and large acceptance bandwidth.

Femtosecond Optical Parametric Amplifier for Petawatt Nd：Glass Lasers

We study a femtosecond Ti：sapphire laser pumped optical parametric amplifier （OPA） at 1053nm. The OPA Generates stable signal pulses with duration smaller than l OOfs, wavelength drift smaller than 0.5 nm, and pulseto-pulse fluctuation of about ±4%, by employinG an external seeder. In a terawatt laser pumped large-aperture LiNbOa OPA, pulse energy at signal has been scaled up to 4mJ. This m J-class femtosecond OPA at 1053nm presents a feasible alternative to optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification, and is ready to be applied to petawatt lasers.     

Scattering-Enhanced Femtosecond Optical Parametric Generation

Scattering-enhanced femtosecond optical parametric generation （OPG） has been observed and studied in detail, which may decrease the pump threshold of OPGs dramatically and may make OPGs reliable. The experimental demonstration in a LiNbO3 crystal shows that strong enough OPG can be obtained at pump intensity of only about 30GW/cm2 which is well below the crystal damage threshold Either a synchronized pulsed laser or a cw laser has been used as the scattering source, of which the wavelength, spectral shape and irradiating angle are not strictly required.
