Abstract

When a signal wave is coupled into a nonlinear-optic (NLO) device with an intense pump wave, the signal wave can be amplified through optical parametric amplification (OPA). QPM-OPA devices can cover a very wide signal wavelength range over the whole transparency range of the NLO crystal. The gain wavelength can be tuned by varying the device temperature and/or the pump wavelength.
