Abstract
The phase stability of broadband ( bandwidth) terawatt-class parametric amplification was measured, for the first time to our knowledge, with a combination of spatial and spectral interferometry. Measurements at four different wavelengths from 750 to were performed in combination with numerical modeling. The phase stability is better than of an optical cycle for all the measured wavelengths, depending on the phase-matching conditions in the amplifier.
