Abstract:
1. A system for high power ultrabroadband parametric amplification, comprising: a first dispersive-and-collimator set; an optical amplification medium located in the frequency plane of said first dispersive-and-collimator set; and one of: i) a second dispersive-and-collimator set symmetric to said first dispersive-and-collimator set on an opposite side of said frequency plane, and ii) a reflector at said frequency plane; wherein a first optical Fourier transformation of a time domain seed beam from a seed source into the frequency domain is achieved at said first dispersive-and-collimator set, parametric amplification by overlap of the seed beam with a pump beam from a pump beam source in a frequency plane using said optical amplification medium occurs in the frequency plane; and a second optical Fourier transformation is achieved, from the frequency domain back to the time domain at one of: i) said second dispersive-and-collimator set and ii) said first dispersive-and-collimator set after back refection at said reflector.
