Optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs) exploit second-order nonlinearity to transfer energy
from a fixed frequency pump pulse to a variable frequency signal pulse, and represent an …

Plasmonic nanoantennas provide unprecedented opportunities to concentrate light fields in
subwavelength-sized volumes. By placing a nonlinear dielectric nanoparticle in such a hot …

High-gain optical parametric amplification is an important nonlinear process used both as a
source of coherent infrared light and as a source of nonclassical light. In this work, we …

Fiber lasers, operating in the NIR-III spectral region (1550–1870 nm), have attracted the
attention of scientists due to their widespread applications and potential advancement of …

Parametric conversion of ultrashort pulses is a versatile tool in nonlinear and quantum
optics. Here, we present a detailed theory and numerical investigation of the phenomenon of …

In this introduction we list important definitions and relations that will be used throughout the
book. We will use SI units exclusively. In a departure from custom, for degenerate mixing …

In this paper, we demonstrated a high-efficiency mid-infrared ZnGeP 2 (ZGP) OPG/OPA
system, operating at the mJ-level with hundred-picosecond pulses. The ZGP-based OPG …

We present a simple method for fully stabilized mid-infrared optical frequency comb
generation based on single-pass femtosecond optical parametric generation that is seeded …

We report on single-pass optical parametric generation for high power, high repetition rate
(RR), ultrafast broadband optical radiation in the mid-IR. Taking advantage of broad phase …

We present a high repetition rate mid-infrared optical parametric master oscillator power
amplifier (MOPA) scheme, which is tunable from 1370 to 4120nm. Up to 4.3 W average …
