ABSTRACTThe search for nontoxic compositions in the thermoelectric field has motivated many researches to find alternatives to the toxic Pb-based systems, capable of reaching their high conversion efficiency. SnTe is gaining much attention during the past years due to its superior eco-friendly character, and its very similar crystal and band structure to that of PbTe. These makes SnTe a promising compound with great potential to answer the demand and use as a fair thermoelectric candidate. Most of the recently published studies mainly discuss the stoichiometric SnTe alloy. Only several focus on the effect of introducing excess tin/tellurium to the system. For that reason, this research aims to investigate in detail the nonstoichiometric SnxTe1-x co-doped by bismuth and indium/iodine, in an attempt to optimize the electronic properties.

We present the design and experiment of a broadband optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier (OPCPA) which provides high conversion efficiency and good beam quality at 808 nm wavelength. Using a three-dimensional spatial and temporal numerical model, several design considerations necessary to achieve high conversion efficiency, good beam quality and good output stability are discussed. To improve the conversion efficiency and broaden the amplified signal bandwidth simultaneously, the nonlinear crystal length and OPCPA parameters are analyzed and optimized with the concept of dissipating amplified idler between optical parametric amplification (OPA) of two crystals configuration. In the experiment, an amplifier consisting of two OPCPA stages of ‘L’ type configuration was demonstrated by using the optimized parameters. An amplified signal energy of 160 mJ was achieved with a total pump-to-signal efficiency of 35% (43% efficiency for the OPCPA stage 2). The output bandwidth of signal pulse reached 80 nm and the signal pulse was compressed to 24 fs. The energy stability reached 1.67% RMS at 3% pump energy variation. The optimized OPCPA amplifier operates at a repetition rate of 1 Hz and is used as a front-end injection for the main amplifier of SG-II 5PW laser facility.
