Measurement of the carrier-envelope phase stability of a novel mid-infrared source
نویسنده
چکیده
The control and stability of the carrier-envelope phase of few-cycle pulses are crucial issues in attoscience. This project reports on a novel few-cycle mid-infrared source based on optical parametric chirped pulse amplification with 100 kHz repetition rate at a wavelength of 3.2μm and a pulse duration of 67 fs. Due to the design of the source it is supposed to be intrinsically passively carrier-envelope phase stable. This assumption is proved experimentally with a new scheme to access the information about the carrier-envelope phase. Compared to the f−2f scheme, which is widely used, this new scheme has the advantage of monitoring the carrier-envelope phase without using the main signal of the source.

Narrowband carrier-envelope phase stable mid-infrared pulses at wavelengths beyond 10 μm by chirped-pulse difference frequency generation.
We report on the generation of narrowband carrier-envelope phase stable mid-infrared (MIR) pulses between 10 and 15 μm. High pulse energies and narrow bandwidths are required for the selective nonlinear excitation of collective modes of matter that is not possible with current sources. We demonstrate bandwidths of <2% at 12.5 μm wavelength through difference frequency generation between two nea...

In this paper, dynamic performance of a transformerless cascaded PWM static synchronous shunt compensator (STATCOM) based on a novel control scheme is investigated for bus voltage regulation in a 6.6kV distribution system. The transformerless STATCOM consists of a thirteen-level cascaded H-bridge inverter, in which each voltage source H-bridge inverter should be equipped with a floating and iso...

In this paper, a novel and simple control strategy, based on state feedback method is suggested to control the power injection system (PIS). The considered PIS is composed of, a DC voltage source, a voltage source inverter (VSI) and a L-C-L filter. The DC source includes the battery source with boosted voltage. The battery can be charged with photovoltaic cells. Since, the grid voltage acts as ...
متن کاملGeneration of Phase-Stable Sub-Cycle Mid-Infrared Pulses from Filamentation in Nitrogen
Sub-single-cycle pulses in the mid-infrared (MIR) region were generated through a laser-induced filament. The fundamental (ω1) and second harmonic (ω2) output of a 30-fs Ti:sapphire amplifier were focused into nitrogen gas and produce phase-stable broadband MIR pulses (ω0) by using a four-wave mixing process (ω1 + ω1 − ω2 → ω0) through filamentation. The spectrum spread from 400 cm−1 to 5500 cm...
