ABSTRACT
We present an optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA) based on mixed cascaded crystals, taking advantage of the unique parametric phase-matching of lithium triborate (LiB3O5, LBO) and yttrium calcium oxyborate ((YCa4O(BO3)3, YCOB) crystals. The OPCPA properties of LBO at 880â
nm and YCOB at 750â
nm are studied respectively. After amplification by two LBO and two YCOB crystals, a total signal gain of 108 and spectral bandwidth close to 400â
nm is obtained. After accurate dispersion compensation with a grating-pair compressor and chirped mirror compensator, a pulse duration of 9.4 fs is obtained by a SHG-frequency-resolved optical grating (FROG). This approach will be of great significance in high energy amplifier for high peak power few-cycle laser sources.
