Few-cycle mid-infrared pulse generation, characterization, and coherent propagation in optically dense media
The generation of fourto five-cycle mid-infrared pulses using a single-stage potassium niobate optical parametric amplifier ~OPA! is demonstrated. The OPA is pumped by a gain-switched Ti:Sapphire regenerative amplifier and is seeded with the near-infrared portion of a white light continuum. The OPA is continuously tunable from 2700 to 4700 nm, and maintains sub-65 fs pulses that are fully chara...
متن کاملActive Radio Frequency Pulse Compression Using Switched Resonant D.elay Lines*
This paper presents a study and design methodology for enhancing the efficiency of the SLED II rf pulse-compression system [l]. This system employs resonant delay lines as a means of storing rf energy. By making the external quality factor of these lines vary as a function of time, the intrinsic efficiency of the system can reach 100%. However, we demonstrate a considerable increase in efficien...
متن کاملIonization-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 کاملSingle-shot Doppler Velocity Estimation using double chirp pulse compression
Coherent ultrasonic Doppler velocimeters provide precise and accurate measurements of velocity profiles in many applications. However, these instruments suffer from the well known range-velocity ambiguity, making this kind of instruments not well suited for velocity measurements in channels of several meters depth and water velocities of some meters per second. On the other side, incoherent ult...
