Abstract:

A method to generate chirped ultrawide-band sources with a chirp bandwidth of about 50% in the infrared is described and experimentally verified. It is based on optical parametric generation in periodically poled crystals with a chirped Ti:sapphire as a pump source. We have demonstrated a 27% wide bandwidth in the signal branch and 45% bandwidth in the idler branch when a periodically poled KTP crystal was pumped by a chirped Ti:sapphire laser with 12 nm full width at half maximum bandwidth. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.
