  • Abstract
    Cavity-enhanced optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA) extends the capabilities of nonlinear crystals beyond material property limitations, namely nonlinear-coefficient and dispersion. Here we show a dramatic increase in conversion and a three-fold increase in gain bandwidth.
