Abstract
We have developed a high-power laser system based on optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification in a crystal. The system provides gain of , a conversion efficiency of , an output energy of , and good amplified beam quality. The prepulse ratio has been measured to be or less. The spectral width was as broad as 16.5 nm centered at 1053 nm.
