摘要
The analysis of tuning characteristics for parametric amplification in KD*P has shown that the application of KD*P crystals may considerably enhance the possibilities of creating optical parametric amplifiers of both terawatt and petawatt level. For instance, at pumping with a wavelength of lambda(3)=0.527 mum, which is most promising for the creation of such systems, the KD*P-based amplifiers may work far from the degenerate mode, e.g., at lambda(S)similar to0.911 mum and lambda(i)similar to1.25 mum. For operation at these wavelengths there are currently master oscillators of femtosecond pulses with pulse duration of up to 30 fs. In this paper elements of the system are discussed, and their parameters are optimized.
