Abstract
A method for filtering noises in an optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier by a spatial-chirp-dressed seed beam is provided. The various noises that grow during amplification course, including parametric super-fluorescence, pump distortion-induced noise and surface-reflection-initiated pre-pulses, will not have the spatial and temporal chirp. After dechirping amplified signal with a compressor, a main pulse having its spatial and temporal chirp removed completely is produced, while the noises acquire an additional spatiotemporal coupling, making themselves highly distinguishable from signal in space, and hence supporting noise filtering effectively and expediently in spatial domain that would not be possible otherwise. The method has capabilities of an order of magnitude reduction in noise energy and several orders of magnitude enhancement in temporal contrast.
