An opposite-chirped frequency-domain optical parametric amplification (OC-FOPA) design is demonstrated and numerically verified. This scheme combines both an ultrabroad seeding generation and the subsequent effective amplification in one single optical parametric amplification stage. Based on a slightly asymmetrical 4-f optical system, the spectral contents of both pump and signal waves are spectrally dispersed with opposite spatial chirps, to broaden the initial idler seeding. Via a properly designed fan-out periodically poled LiNbO3 chip, nearly perfect quasi phase matching can be realized across the full spectrum, whereby each individual spectral pair precisely maps to its required grating period. Full-dimensional simulations based on commercial ~110 fs (FWHM) near-infrared (near-IR) lasers at 790 and 1030 nm are quantitatively discussed, and few-cycle mid-IR laser pulses (~60 fs at 3.4 μm) plus a high conversion efficiency exceeding 50% are theoretically predicted. By means of a high-power pump source, the OC-FOPA scheme can be also applied to directly produce high-intensity carrier-envelope-phase-stabilized mid-IR idler pulses.

过去十五年来,在研究和工程上涌现出的最引人注目而不平凡的发展是激光器。虽然通常把激光视为军用死光,但是激光束已在能够想到的任何应用领域投入工作,其中包括切除大脑肿瘤、管道的准直和超级市场自动检查系统。死光的研制似乎仍需要一些时间;但是,现有重要的近期军用和民用项目,可能证明更有意义。其中有模拟核爆炸的方法、产生受控的热核聚变、生产核燃料的同位素分离。

由于Nath等人发明了可弯曲的导光系统,从而使在泌尿系统施行经尿道的激光手术得以实现。通常情况下,用普通手术刀作尿道切开术是治疗尿道狭窄的主要手术之一。然而,1978年Bulow的报告启发了泌尿科医师试图把激光手术经尿道陌于治疗尿道狭窄。
