Title: Femtosecond high-contrast pulses from a parametric generator pumped by the self-compressed second harmonic of a Nd:glass laser

Abstract

Nearly transform-limited femtosecond pulses tunable from 635 to 3000 nm were generated by a traveling-wave type II phase-matching barium borate parametric generator pumped by the self-compressed second harmonic of a Nd:glass laser. A total conversion efficiency of 10% with output pulses as short as 200 fs has been achieved. Numerical simulation indicated that the relative amount of energy contained in the output pulse wings was reduced by {similar_to}4{times}10{sup 4} compared with that in the pump. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital Optical} {ital Society} {ital of} {ital America}.
