Self-compression of millijoule pulses from a 1.5 μm OPCPA
We demonstrate a four-stage optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA) system delivering carrierenvelope phase (CEP)-stable ∼1.5-μm pulses with energies up to 12.5 mJ before recompression. The system is based on a fusion of femtosecond DPSS Yb technology and a picosecond 100-mJ Nd:YAG pump laser. Pulses with 62-nm bandwidth are recompressed to a 74.4-fs duration close to the transfo...
متن کاملMulti-millijoule few-cycle mid-infrared pulses through nonlinear self-compression in bulk
The physics of strong-field applications requires driver laser pulses that are both energetic and extremely short. Whereas optical amplifiers, laser and parametric, boost the energy, their gain bandwidth restricts the attainable pulse duration, requiring additional nonlinear spectral broadening to enable few or even single cycle compression and a corresponding peak power increase. Here we demon...
متن کاملTight focusing and blue shifting of millijoule femtosecond pulses from a conical axicon amplifier.
We focus millijoule femtosecond pulses to a spot radius of 2 microm after amplification free of phase-front distortion in a Nd:YAG-pumped conical axicon dye cell. Peak focal intensities reach 10(16) W/cm(2) , creating an intense spark that is caused by air breakdown at the focus. Intensity-dependent blue shifts of the pulse spectrum as large as 11 nm are observed as a result of temporally asymm...
متن کامل90 GW peak power few-cycle mid-infrared pulses from an optical parametric amplifier.
We demonstrate a compact 20 Hz repetition-rate mid-IR OPCPA system operating at a central wavelength of 3900 nm with the tail-to-tail spectrum extending over 600 nm and delivering 8 mJ pulses that are compressed to 83 fs (<7 optical cycles). Because of the long optical period (∼13 fs) and a high peak power, the system opens a range of unprecedented opportunities for tabletop ultrafast science a...
متن کاملHigh harmonic generation with long-wavelength few-cycle laser pulses
We report the extension of hollow-core fibre pulse compression to longer wavelengths. High-energy multi-cycle infrared pulses are generated via optical parametric amplification and subsequently broadened in the fibre. 2.5-cycle pulses at the Signal wavelength (1.4 μm) and 1.6-cycle pulses at the Idler wavelength (1.8 μm) in the sub-millijoule regime have been generated. New compression schemes ...
