High-gain fiber, optical-parametric, chirped-pulse amplification of femtosecond pulses at 1 μm.
Fiber-based optical-parametric chirped-pulse amplification is reported at 1μm in a microstructured fiber in the femtosecond regime. The signal has been highly stretched by an Öffner triplet and then amplified with an all-fiber, pulsed-pump, fiber optical-parametric amplifier. More than 30dB gain has been achieved over 8.3nm, and the amplified signal has been recompressed.
