We report on the design of a compact grism-pair stretcher for a near-infrared noncollinear optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA) system. The grisms are produced by bonding a grating to a prism using a resin. The stretcher is capable of controlling a bandwidth of over 300 nm, which is suitable for parametric amplification of few-cycle pulses. After amplification, pulses can be compressed by the dispersion of optical glass, and the residual group-delay can be compensated with an acousto-optic programmable dispersive filter (AOPDF).

Significant oscillations of the spectral distribution of the idler pulses in the optical parametric amplification of chirped laser pulse have been observed experimentally. On the base of the obtained simple analytical solution we have showed that such oscillations and an asymmetry of the spectral and temporal distributions of the intensities of the signal and the idler were caused by small variations in the parameters of the initial idler in comparison with the signal one. Conditions for distortion of the shape of the temporal and spectral distributions of the amplified compressed output pulses in a multi-stage laser with optical parametric chirped pulse amplification have been determined.

The Optical Parametric Chirped Pulse Amplification is one of the most promising techniques to deliver 20PW laser system. The already available KD*P in large size is a good candidate as nonlinear crystal. In this article we report the experimental analysis of the spectral small signal gain for KD*P at 70% deuteration level for different phase matching and non-collinear angle. The data is also compared with a theoretical model.
