A new scheme for efficient optical parametric chirped pulse amplification is proposed by introducing a time delay between long pump and short seed pulses. Numerical results show that high conversion efficiency from the pump to seed and high gain can be achieved simultaneously, and the amplified seed pulse is stable and not sensitive to timing jitter.
