title: Ultra-broadband optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification using an Yb: LiYF(4) chirped-pulse amplification pump laser.
abstract: We demonstrate ultra-broadband optical parametric chirpedpulse amplification of 300-nm bandwidth pumped by a broadband pulse delivered from a diode-pumped, cryogenically-cooled Yb:YLF chirped- pulse amplification laser.
