Popis: We propose a novel optical parametric amplification scheme which combines quasi-phase-matching with a composite pulse approach that involves crystal segments of specific lengths. The presented scheme highly increases the robustness of the frequency conversion against variations of the nonlinear coupling and of the pump, idler or signal wavelengths and has therefore the potential to enhance high amplification and broadband operation. Simulations examples applied to LiNbO_3 are given.
