  • Abstract
    This paper presents a detailed theoretical and experimental study of optical parametric amplification. Experimental measurements in KD*P pumped at 354.7 nm and LiNbO3pumped at 1064 nm by a Q -switched Nd:YAG source are in excellent agreement with theory. The large gains, high conversion efficiency, and wide tuning range make optical parametric amplification an important method for power generation in the optical and infrared spectral range.
