摘要
The results of effective optical parametric amplification in KTP crystal pumped by three beams delivered by fibre amplifiers are presented. The second harmonic of three 1.2 ns and 200 mu J pulses each extracted from fibre amplifier have been used to pump optical parametric amplifier (OPA) simultaneously. The conversion efficiency of pump radiation into a signal beam was close to 25%.
