Broadband noncollinear optical parametric amplifier using a single crystal

Abstract

A noncollinear optical parametric amplifier in which blue pump pulse generation as well as parametric amplification takes place in the same nonlinear crystal is presented. Broadband spectra tunable throughout over $100\mathrm{nm}$ in the visible were generated in a simple setup. The green output pulses were compressed to $65\mathrm{fs}$, and efficiency (IR-to-visible) of 1.8% was achieved.
