The prospects for ultrashort pulse duration and ultrahigh intensity using optical parametric chirped pulse amplifiers
TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of optical parametric amplifiers are presented to show that, in addition to their use in providing tuneable pulses, they can form the critical component in systems generating shorter pulse duration with higher power and intensity than is possible with existing systems.
