High Gain Frequency Domain Optical Parametric Amplification
The powerful technique of optical parametric amplification (OPA) experienced a huge advance with the invention of optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) and later noncollinear OPA. In this paper, we describe a radically different approach of performing parametric interaction in the frequency domain instead of the time domain. The frequency domain is reached via optical Fourier transformation, which provides a separation ansatz. It allows breaking down a big task into smaller ones which ultimately enables simultaneous up-scaling of peak power and bandwidth. The first proof-of-concept experiment yielding 1.4 mJ, two cycle pulses at 1.8-μm wavelength is complemented by a high gain (>2000) setup at 800-nm wavelength with 2.5 kHz repetition rate. A very low amount of parasitic superfluorescence without degradation of the picosecond pulse contrast within the pump pulse duration has been observed upon high gain conditions.
期刊介绍:
Papers published in the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics fall within the broad field of science and technology of quantum electronics of a device, subsystem, or system-oriented nature. Each issue is devoted to a specific topic within this broad spectrum. Announcements of the topical areas planned for future issues, along with deadlines for receipt of manuscripts, are published in this Journal and in the IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics. Generally, the scope of manuscripts appropriate to this Journal is the same as that for the IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics. Manuscripts are published that report original theoretical and/or experimental research results that advance the scientific and technological base of quantum electronics devices, systems, or applications. The Journal is dedicated toward publishing research results that advance the state of the art or add to the understanding of the generation, amplification, modulation, detection, waveguiding, or propagation characteristics of coherent electromagnetic radiation having sub-millimeter and shorter wavelengths. In order to be suitable for publication in this Journal, the content of manuscripts concerned with subject-related research must have a potential impact on advancing the technological base of quantum electronic devices, systems, and/or applications. Potential authors of subject-related research have the responsibility of pointing out this potential impact. System-oriented manuscripts must be concerned with systems that perform a function previously unavailable or that outperform previously established systems that did not use quantum electronic components or concepts. Tutorial and review papers are by invitation only.
