Abstract

The experimental observation of conical emissions (CE) and seeded amplification of conical emission (SAC) was reported in a thick β-barium borate (BBO) crystal pumped by intense fs pulses. The results showed that SAC withstood the presence of group velocity mismatch (GVM) in a thick nonlinear crystal, which showed a promising prospect for ultrabroadband parametric amplification to achieve intense fs pulses. Up-conversion implied that there occurred three multiple three-photon parametric wave-mixing processes in the quadratic medium.
