Abstract
We present analytical solutions to nonlinear coupling equations for parametric down-conversion of a broadband pump at large gain. The feasibility of analytical expressions is demonstrated for the case of a collinear type II parametric interaction in beta-barium borate crystal and group-velocity matching of signal and pump waves. The correlation function of amplified signal wave is obtained, and it is revealed that the bandwidth of a noise-seeded optical parametric amplifier increases with a decrease in pump pulse duration, especially for femtosecond pump pulses.
