Abstract

We repot simultaneous optical parametric amplifiers (OPA) and amplitude modulation of signal pulse in a monolithic periodically poled KTP (PPKTP) by electrically controlling the relative phase between the pump, signal and idler waves in a KTP dispersion section sandwiched between two PPKTP gratings, theoretically. The controlling electric field can be arbitrary direction. For an ultrashort pulse group velocity mismatch, group dispersion and diffraction must be regarded, simultaneously. The solutions of the truncated equations, including the above effects in the two PPKTP gratings of simultaneous frequency tuning and amplitude modulation OPA, were analyzed. It is shown that the intensity of output signal pulse of OPA depends on the thickness of the dispersion section, the magnitude and azimuth of controlling electric field and one evidences periodicity. For the certain angular dispersion there exist the largest frequency bandwidths of optical parametric amplifiers. Certain angular dispersion of a signal pulse can increase the frequency bandwidth, and broadband amplification of ultrashort pulse can be performed effectively.
