560 TW peak power has been achieved experimentally using a Cr:forsterite master oscillator at 1250 nm, a stretcher, three optical parametrical amplifiers based on KD*P crystals providing 38 J energy in the chirped pulse at 910 nm central wavelength, and a vacuum compressor providing 43 fs pulse duration. To our knowledge, it is a world-record OPCPA system and one of the five most powerful laser systems currently available.

“…Peak powers approaching the Peta-Watt level have been obtained recently by optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) [4]. This impressive performance suffers from a low repetition rate and the scalability in terms of average power, which is restricted by the pump source.…”

We report on an optical parametric amplification system which is pumped and seeded by fiber generated laser radiation. Due to its low broadening threshold, high spatial beam quality and high stability, the fiber based broad bandwidth signal generation is a promising alternative to white light generation in bulky glass or sapphire plates. We demonstrate a novel and successful signal engineering implemented in a setup for parametric amplification and subsequent recompression of resonant linear waves resulting from soliton fission in a highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber. The applied pump source is a high repetition rate ytterbium-doped fiber chirped pulse amplification system. The presented approach results in the generation of ~50 fs pulses at MHz repetition rate. The potential of generating even shorter pulse duration and higher pulse energies will be discussed
