We studied spectra of the amplified signal from a noncollinear optical parametric amplifier (NOPA) based on a Ti:sapphire laser and BBO crystal gain medium. The signal shows characteristic structures with periodic intensity variations in the signal during the parametric amplification processes in a BBO crystal. This phenomenon is attributed to the stimulated Raman process excited by the pump pulse affected by the phase-matching condition of four-wave mixing. The effect of this stimulated Raman process on optical parametric amplification and on final pulse compression of the signal was analyzed. The results demonstrate that caution must be taken when constructing a NOPA. Specifically, great care must be taken not to use mirrors with non-uniform spectral reflectivity for obtaining a stable pulse in terms of both temporal and spectral shapes.
