Comprehensive numerical modelling of the performance of a second harmonic generation stage coupled with a low-gain optical parametric amplifier.
We present a comprehensive model for predicting the full performance of a second harmonic generation-optical parametric amplification system that aims at enhancing the temporal contrast of laser pulses. The model simultaneously takes into account all the main parameters at play in the system such as the group velocity mismatch, the beam divergence, the spectral content, the pump depletion, and ...
متن کاملAn XUV-FEL amplifier seeded using high harmonic generation
A detailed design of a free electron laser (FEL) amplifier operating in the extreme ultra violet (XUV) and seeded directly by a high harmonic source is presented. The design is part of the 4th generation light source (4GLS) facility proposed for the Daresbury Laboratory in the UK which will offer users a suite of high brightness synchronised sources from THz frequencies into the XUV. The XUV-FE...
متن کاملSecond harmonic generation imaging with a kHz amplifier [Invited]
Nonlinear optical imaging is a powerful method for observing bulk and interfacial phenomena in time and space. Here, we present a stepby-step description of how to carry out second harmonic generation imaging with a kHz amplifier laser system and demonstrate its applicability for SHG microscopy studies of highly size-resolved colloidal CdSe quantum dots having radii of 1-2 nm deposited on glass...
متن کاملFiber-laser-pumped, high-energy, mid-IR, picosecond optical parametric oscillator with a high-harmonic cavity.
We demonstrate the generation of high-energy, mid-IR, picosecond pulses in a high-harmonic-cavity optical parametric oscillator (OPO) that has a relatively compact cavity with a length that is a small fraction of that required to match the pump repetition rate. The OPO, based on an MgO-doped periodically poled LiNbO3 crystal, is pumped by a fiber master-oscillator-power-amplifier system employi...
متن کاملCascaded Nonlinear Optical Mixing in a Noncollinear Optical Parametric Amplifier
Ultrafast optical science is a rapidly evolving multidisciplinary field: the ability to excite matter with femtosecond light pulses and probe its subsequent evolution on ultrashort time scales opens up completely new fields of research in physics, chemistry, and biology.[1] Furthermore, the high intensities that can be generated using femtosecond light pulses allow us to explore new regimes of ...
