Abstract
We have designed and built a chirped-pulse parametric-amplifier system that utilizes a 10 Hz, 300 ps, pump laser system; a fiber oscillator and amplifier as the signal source; and rubidium titanyl phosphate and potassium titanyl arsenate nonlinear crystals. We obtained 260 fs, 30 mJ pulses centered at , representing a gain of and a peak power of 100 GW. To our knowledge, these are the highest energy and peak power pulses ever produced in the region
