AB  - Narrow-bandwidth (approximately 27 cm(-1)) tunable picosecond pulses from 480 
      nm-780 nm were generated from the output of a 1 kHz femtosecond titanium:sapphire 
      laser system using a type I noncollinear optical parametric amplifier (NOPA) with 
      chirped second-harmonic generation (SHG) pumping. Unlike a femtosecond NOPA, this 
      system utilizes a broadband pump beam, the chirped 400 nm SHG of the Ti:sapphire 
      fundamental, to amplify a monochromatic signal beam (spectrally-filtered output 
      of a type II collinear OPA). Optimum geometric conditions for simultaneous phase- 
      and group-velocity matching were calculated in the visible spectrum. This design 
      is an efficient and simple method for generating tunable visible picosecond 
      pulses that are synchronized to the femtosecond pulses.
