Source: MDPI Understanding Optical Parametric Chirped-Pulse Amplification (OPCPA) Introduction to Optical Parametric Chirped-Pulse Amplification (OPCPA) What is OPCPA? Optical Parametric Chirped-Pulse Amplification (OPCPA) is a technique originally developed for amplifying ultrashort pulses with laser amplifiers. It is also suitable for optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs). OPCPA involves amplifying temporally stretched (chirped) pulses to reduce peak intensities
