Abstract
Quasi-parametric chirped-pulse amplifier comprising a signal path, a pump path, and an amplifier. A dedicated nonlinear crystal doped with rare-earth-ions is used which has strong absorption around the idler waveband. Both the chirped signal pulse and the pump pulse incident into the amplifier, where energy continuously transfers from the pump pulse to the signal pulse and a newly generated idler pulse. The energy of the generated idler pulse is continually absorbed by the rare-earth ions doped in the amplifier.
