Broadband optical parametric chirped pulse amplification in K3B6O10Br crystal near 800 nm

Broadband optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) of the K3B6O10Br (KBOB) crystal at a central wavelength of 800 nm has been demonstrated for the first time. Using type-1 non-collinear phase matching, a 52 nm FWHM bandwidth was achieved around 800 nm. The 0.25 mJ signal was amplified to 23.92 mJ at the pump intensity of 2.1 GW cm(-2). The energy gain was 95.68. After compression, 15.31 mJ to 31.9 fs pulses were obtained. The results confirm that KBOB crystal is a potential alternative for efficient, broadband OPCPA near 800 nm.
