Show more >Optical parametric amplifier pumped by two chirped pump pulses has been analytically and numerically investigated to predict the spectral gain bandwidth and its temporal distribution. We highlight that the properties of the amplifier depend strongly on the relative chirp values and a uniform spectro-temporal gain can be obtained when the two chirps have opposite signs. A chirped signal pulse owing a very broad bandwidth has also been injected and we demonstrate the amplification of ultra-short pulse with this type of amplifiers.Show less >
