Title: Methods and devices for generation of broadband pulsed radiation

Abstract

Methods and apparatus for non-collinear optical parametric amplification (NOPA) are provided. Broadband phase matching is achieved with a non-collinear geometry and a divergent signal seed to provide bandwidth gain. A chirp may be introduced into the pump pulse such that the white light seed is amplified in a broad spectral region.
