Wavelength-tunable high-power picosecond pulses from a fibre pumped diode-seeded high-gain parametric amplifier
We describe a high-gain optical parametric amplifier (OPA) and optical parametric generator (OPG) system pumped by a fiber chirped-pulse amplification source based on novel large-mode-area fiber components. 45nJ OPG thresholds and 34% pump-signal conversion efficiencies are obtained for ~4ps pulses....
