Abstract
We experimentally observe the broadband amplification of a seed laser pulse by at least 70x over its 500-1000nm range. The amplification was achieved by crossing a few-cycle seed pulse with a short 800 nm pump pulse at a near-90 degree angle, deviating from conventional plasma-based Raman amplifiers which employ near-parallel configurations. The amplification phenomenon occurred when the pump and seed pulses were crossed within an supersonic gas jet target.
