Pulse compression of submillijoule few-optical-cycle infrared laser pulses using chirped mirrors.
We report generation of 400 microJ, 13.1 fs, 1425 nm optical parametric amplifier laser pulses. Spectral broadening of a 100 Hz optical parametric amplifier laser source is achieved by self-phase modulation in an argon-filled hollow-core fiber, and dispersion compensation is performed using chirped mirrors. This laser source will be useful for ultrafast time-resolved molecular orbital tomography.
متن کاملGeneration of high-contrast, joule-level pulses based on Nd:glass chirped pulse amplification laser
We demonstrate a high-contrast, joule-level Nd:glass laser system operating at 0.5 Hz repetition rate based on a double chirped pulse amplification (CPA) scheme. By injecting high-contrast, high-energy seed pulses into the Nd:glass CPA stage, the pulse energy is amplified to 1.9 J through two optical parametric CPA stages and two Nd:glass amplifiers. The temporal contrast of compressed pulse is...
متن کاملDevelopment of cryogenically-cooled Yb:YLF chirped-pulse amplification laser for pumping few-cycle optical-parametric chirped-pulse amplification
As a pump source for intense few-cycle laser system with optical-parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA), we have been developing cryogenically-cooled Yb:YLF chirped-pulse amplification laser. So far we have successfully obtained high energy output pulse with 107 mJ of energy from a single-stage regenerative amplifier, which can be compressed to 2.2 ps in duration without pedestal. An ad...
متن کاملSuppression of the pedestal in a chirped-pulse-amplification laser
The pedestal (prepulse and postpulse) associated with a chirped-pulse-amplification (CPA) laser is studied. Four components have been identified that contribute to the pedestal. Pulses are spectrally shaped by gain narrowing in a frequency-matched, regenerative amplifier, while self-phase modulation is avoided. The intensity contrast is further improved through the use of a saturable absorber, ...
