Ultrafast Optical Parametric Amplifier
July 23, 2012
A picosecond-pumped ultrafast optical parametric amplifier (UOPA) has been deployed on OMEGA EP to enhance temporal contrast and to support additional user experiments. Seen here working on one of the UOPA’s in the Laser Development Laboratory are senior research engineer Rick Roides (left) and senior scientist Christophe Dorrer (right).
