Abstract
Conversion efficiency and phase-matching (PM) bandwidth are both critical issues for broadband parametric processes. In some sense, they determine the highest peak power achieved via the optical parametric amplification. In this Letter, a versatile idler-separated quasi-phase matching scheme capable of both backconversion circumvention and ultra-broadband PM is presented. Full-dimensional spatial-temporal simulations for the typical optical parametric chirped pulse amplification processes at 800nm and 3.4μm were presented in detail. By virtue of the broad PM bandwidth on account of the non-collinear PM configuration, the backconversion circumvention on account of the idler-separated design, and the walk-off self-compensation on account of the symmetrical tilting grating patterns, significantly improved gain bandwidth, extremely high conversion efficiency, and a well-preserved beam profile are simultaneously achieved. Compared with the collinear configuration, the peak power can be potentially enhanced by 5-10 times under the same operation circumstances.
