Spectral enhancement in optical parametric amplifiers in the saturated regime

We present numerical and experimental studies on a front-end laser system for seeding a sub-picosecond multi-terawatt/petawatt light source based on two highly saturated optical parametric amplifiers. Numerical results showing energy gain, spectral gain, and stability as saturation is approached are...
