Abstract
We report on what is believed to be the first large-aperture and high-energy optical parametric chirped pulse amplification system. The system, based on a three-stage amplifier, shows 25% pump-to-signal conversion efficiency and amplification of the full width of the seed spectrum. Pulse compression to achieved after amplification indicates a potential of pulse power for amplified pulse energy.
