A two-stage optical parametric amplifier (OPA) design that provides over −5 × 107 gain at 1053 nm is presented. Noise level of the parametric amplifier in the signal wave propagation direction was 2 × 10−6 from the signal level. The parasitic parametric oscillation under intense pump wave and its contribution to the OPA output was measured to be less than 8%.
