LLE Review 111 (April-June 2007)

Other ·
OSTI ID:918793
This volume of the LLE Review features the analysis and the experimental results of a study of pump-induced, temporal-contrast degradation in optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA). In OPCPA systems, the temporal fluctuations of the pump pulse are coupled to the spectrum of the chirped signal by the instantaneous parametric gain and lead to a reduction in the temporal contrast of the recompressed amplified signal.
