Abstract

We have experimentally demonstrated the existence of super-broadband non-degenerated phase matching for a signal with a wavelength of 911 nm in KD*P crystal pumped with wavelength of 527nm. Parametric amplification coefficient of more than 10⁷ in three cascades is achieved. This resulted in pulse energy 10mJ at the output of third cascade. It is shown that in the KD*P crystal chirped pulses of conventional femtosecond sources (a Ti:Sa laser at 911 nm and a Cr:forsterite laser at 1250 nm) can be amplified up to the level that ensures multipetawatt power after compression.
