Effect of the pump beam profile and wavefront on the amplified signal wavefront in optical parametric amplifiers

We present a theoretical and experimental analysis of the signal phase introduced by the pump-beam wavefront and spatial profile during optical parametric amplification (OPA) process. The theory predicts the appearance of an additional wavefront in the amplified signal beam that is proportional to t...
