Abstract We demonstrate a novel picosecond optical parametric preamplification to generate high-stability, high-energy and high-contrast seed pulses. The 5 ps seed pulse is amplified from 60 pJ to 300 $\mu$J with an 8.6 ps/ 3 mJ pump laser in a signal stage of short pulse non-collinear optical parametric chirped pulse amplification. The total gain is more than 10$^{6}$ and the rms energy stability is under 1.35%. The contrast ratio is higher than 10$^{8}$ within a scale of 20 ps before the main pulse. Consequently, the improvement factor of the signal contrast is approximately equal to the gain 10$^{6}$ outside the pump window.
