Characterization of partially deuterated KDP crystals using two-wavelength phase-matching

C. Dorrer et al.

Summary: A novel experimental technique was studied and demonstrated in determining the deuteration level of DKDP crystal based on phase-matching angles measured at two wavelengths, consistent with a specific index model. Simulations and experiments showed that the simple two-wavelength technique allows for consistent results with three different index models, characterizing crystals with deuteration levels ranging from 70% to 98%.

Numerical analysis of the DKDP-based high-energy optical parametric chirped pulse amplifier for a 100 PW class laser

Jiabing Hu et al.

Summary: This work presents a comprehensive numerical investigation on a high-energy OPCPA based on a large-aperture DKDP crystal. The analysis includes the effects of deuteration level, absorption loss, temperature variation, and optimization of zero-phase-mismatch wavelength on the efficiency-bandwidth product. The study shows that broadband and high-efficiency amplification can be achieved in the DKDP crystal with moderate deuteration level by optimizing the zero-phase-mismatch wavelength.
