Mid-infrared optical parametric amplifier based on a LGSe crystal and pumped at 1.6 μm.
We demonstrate the generation of 22.6 μJ of combined energy at 3 μm for sub-300fs pulses at a repetition rate of 1 kHz using a LGSe optical parametric amplifier (OPA). The LGSe OPA is pumped by the 140-fs 1.6 μm pulses from a 300-mW KTA optical parametric chirped pulse amplifier (OPCPA) based on an all-optical synchronization scheme. By using a highly-nonlinear fiber, the output of an erbium-do...
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 کاملYb:YAG Innoslab amplifier: efficient high repetition rate subpicosecond pumping system for optical parametric chirped pulse amplification.
We report on a Yb:YAG Innoslab laser amplifier system for generation of subpicsecond high energy pump pulses for optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) at high repetition rates. Pulse energies of up to 20 mJ (at 12.5 kHz) and repetition rates of up to 100 kHz were attained with pulse durations of 830 fs and average power in excess of 200 W. We further investigate the possibility...
متن کاملEfficiency-enhanced soliton optical parametric amplifier
We show that the pump–to–signal power conversion efficiency of parametric chirped-pulse amplifiers made with periodically poled materials operating with multicolor spatial solitons can be significantly enhanced by employing engineered quasi-phase-matching gratings. Applications include compact sources of high-energy ultrashort pulses in diffraction-limited high-quality beams. © 2002 Optical Soc...
متن کاملTwo-color fiber amplifier for short-pulse, mid-infrared generation.
A short-pulse, two-color Yb:fiber laser system has been developed for mid-infrared generation. To date, 20 microW of average power at a wavelength of approximately 18 microm is generated by difference-frequency mixing 300 mW average power from the two-color Yb:fiber amplifier. The mid-infrared power was not limited by two-photon absorption, allowing it to be scaled by increasing the amplifier p...
