A self-seeded optical parametric amplifier (OPA) system includes a cavity mirror, a wavelength conversion unit, and a dichroic filter. The cavity mirror is configured to allow high transmission for an input laser beam and high reflection for a feedback beam. The wavelength conversion unit is configured to convert the input laser beam into a signal laser beam and an idler laser beam. The dichroic filter is configured to allow one of the signal laser beam and the idler laser beam to pass through the dichroic filter and reflect the other one onto a feedback path.
