Gated amplification of small signals in a degenerate optical parametric amplifier

Abstract

In recent years, the search for easily and widely tunable coherent sources has generated great interest in the development of optical parametric amplifiers (OPA). We are presently developing a subpicosecond degenerate OPA based on the nonlinear crystal BBO. We show how this OPA can amplify small signals with a gain of up to 104 during the time that the pump and signal overlap in the crystal.
