Abstract

A broadband optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier applicable to the technical field of lasers. The amplifier comprises a narrow-band picosecond laser (70), a pulse laser stretcher (10), an optical coupling mirror (20), a beam expansion / contraction system (30), a periodically poled crystal (40), a spectroscope (50), and a pulse laser compressor (60), wherein the periodically poled crystal (40), which has a periodical domain inversion structure, is used for separating generated idler light from a chirped-pulse laser / pump light so as to suppress energy backflow after the broadband optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier enters the stage of saturated amplification; and thus, the broad optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification of a broadband is realized. The broadband optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier not only suppresses the backflow of signal light energy, but also has a very broad gain bandwidth as a result of the simultaneous optimization between pulse energy (conversion efficiency) and pulse width (gain bandwidth), such that the outputtable peak power of the broadband optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier is greatly increased, and the performance of the optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of laser technology, in particular to a broadband optical parametric chirped pulse amplifier. Background technique [0002] Optical Parametric Chirped-Pulse Amplification (OPCPA) is a common technique for increasing the energy of ultrashort pulse lasers. The basic principle of OPCPA is to broaden the low-energy femtosecond ultrashort pulse laser into a picosecond or nanosecond chirped pulse (the pulse width after stretching is equivalent to the pump light), and then use the narrow-band high-energy pulse laser as the pump light , perform optical parametric amplification on the ultrashort pulse laser, and finally use a grating compressor to recompress the amplified chirped pulse signal to the femtosecond level at the output end. However, all parametric processes are subject to energy backflow. Backflow means that when the pump light is strongly attenuated and the parametric process enters saturation amplification, the ...
