Abstract
A telescope-grating-deformable scheme is proposed to compensate the angular dispersion of ultrabroadband spectrum. A simple design consideration is formulated based on the large angular dispersion of the idler from noncollinear optical parametric amplification. A proof of principle experiment is demonstrated. A 3-μJ ultrabroadband near-infrared pulse with spectrum range from 700 to 1400 nm has been generated. The technique has great potential to provide an ultrabroadband seed with negligible angular dispersion for high-power amplification of few-cycle pulses.
