A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances, DOI 10.29026/oea.2023.220046 discusses table-top optical parametric chirped pulse amplifiers. The invention of Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA) ...

Optical amplifiers based on chirped pulse amplification (CPA) are used to generate high intensity pulses. In the CPA scheme, a weak temporally stretched seed pulse is amplified to high energy in a ...

Chirped pulse amplification (CPA) has become a common technique for damage-free amplification of short optical pulses to terawatt levels and beyond. Typical high-repetition-rate Ti:sapphire chirped ...

A compact new generation optical amplifier has been constructed. The apparatus is extremely efficient and small enough to fit on a desktop and is able to generate over 10 terawatt light pulses. A ...

Fiber laser based chirped pulse amplification system (FLCPA) generates high energy (up to 20 µJ) ultrashort (0.5 ps) pulses at a repetition rate of 100s of KHz for either 1 or 1.5 µm wavelengths.

Canadian scientist, Professor Donna Strickland, has been named joint winner of this year’s Nobel Prize for Physics. It is the first time in 55 years (and only the third time ever) a woman has won the ...
