Ultrafast Four-Wave Optical Parametric Amplification in Transparent Condensed Bulk Media

Figure 4

Normalized autocorrelation functions of (a) input pump pulse, (b) depleted pump pulse at the FWOPA output, (c) input seed signal, and (d) output amplified signal. Red curves represent a corresponding Gaussian fit. Output pulses were measured after propagation in 40-mm-long water cuvette, with J and pump-to-signal conversion of 15%.
