Ionization-assisted guided-wave pulse compression to extreme peak powers and single-cycle pulse widths in the mid-infrared.
Ionization-assisted spectral broadening of high-energy 10.6 μm laser pulses in a gas-filled hollow waveguide is shown to yield single-cycle pulses with multiterawatt peak powers in the mid-IR. While the highest quality of pulse compression is achieved in the regime of weak ionization, careful management of complex ionization-assisted spectral broadening of guided-wave fields is the key to compr...
متن کاملMultiterawatt few-cycle pulse OPCPA
A significant part of this work is devoted to the development of the brightest high-intensity few-cycle-pulse optical parametric chirped pulse amplifier (OPCPA) system. The completion of a 10 terawatt OPCPA is achieved, with 8.5-fs pulse duration at full-width at half maximum, which is within 6% of their Fourier transform-limited pulse duration. This was made possible by use of a combined grism...
متن کاملSelf-focusing and envelope pulse generation in nonlinear magnetic metamaterials.
The self-modulation of waves propagating in nonlinear magnetic metamaterials is investigated. Considering the propagation of a modulated amplitude magnetic field in such a medium, we show that the self-modulation of the carrier wave leads to a spontaneous energy localization via the generation of localized envelope structures (envelope solitons), whose form and properties are discussed. These r...
متن کاملGeneration of supercontinuum compressible to single-cycle pulse widths in an ionizing gas
Analysis of the evolution of submillijoule few-cycle light pulses in an ionizing gas reveals physical mechanisms and scenarios enabling the generation of high-intensity supercontinuum radiation compressible to singlecycle pulse widths. The main properties of supercontinuum generation in this regime are analyzed by numerically solving a spatiotemporal evolution equation for a few-cycle light fie...
متن کاملNonlinear pulse compression to 43 W GW-class few-cycle pulses at 2 μm wavelength.
High-average power laser sources delivering intense few-cycle pulses in wavelength regions beyond the near infrared are promising tools for driving the next generation of high-flux strong-field experiments. In this work, we report on nonlinear pulse compression to 34.4 μJ-, 2.1-cycle pulses with 1.4 GW peak power at a central wavelength of 1.82 μm and an average power of 43 W. This performance ...
