摘要：

We demonstrate a scheme for correcting the angular dispersion of the 3.1-mu m idler beam from a high repetition rate, KTiOAsO4 (KTA) based noncollinear optical parametric amplifier pumped at 1.03 mu m and seeded by broadband signal pulses at 1.55 mu m. Following angular dispersion correction, successful temporal chirp compensation was possible, and a close to transform-limited pulse duration of 70 fs and a pulse energy of 30 mu J at a repetition rate of 100 kHz were obtained. The angular chirp compensated KTA-based scheme is scalable to higher pulse energies and average powers and has various advantages compared to periodically poled and angle-tuned LiNbO3-based amplifiers, which exhibit low resistance to photorefractive damage.
