چکیده
The visible second harmonic of the idler output from a noncollinear optical parametric amplifier was compressed using adaptive dispersion control with a deformable mirror. The amplifier was pumped by and seeded in the signal path by a common 400 nm second-harmonic pulse from a Ti:sapphire regenerative amplifier. Thus, both the idler output and the second harmonic of the idler were passively carrier-envelope phase stabilized. The shortest pulse duration achieved was below 3 fs.

Controlled waveforms on the single-cycle scale from a femtosecond oscillator.
We present an octave-spanning Ti:sapphire oscillator supporting Fourier-limited pulses as short as 3.7 fs. This laser system can be directly CEO-phase stabilized delivering an average output power of about 90 mW with a pulse duration of 4.4 fs. The phase-stabilization is realized without additional spectral broadening using an f-2f interferometer approach allowing for full control of the electr...
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...
متن کاملSub-femtosecond precision timing distribution, synchronization and coherent synthesis of ultrafast lasers
In this thesis, we present a complete set of techniques for sub-femtosecond measurement, control and distribution of ultrafast optical pulse trains, with respect to pulse timing and phase. First, analytical analysis of the balanced optical cross-correlator (BOC) for attosecond precision pulse timing measurement is presented for both short and long crystal devices. It is found that the sensitivi...
متن کاملFew-cycle femtosecond field synthesizer.
We report on an optical field synthesizer consisting of a CEO-phase stabilized octave-spanning Ti:sapphire laser oscillator, a double-LCD prism-based pulse shaper, and a SPIDER pulse characterization apparatus. This field synthesizer allows for generating pulses with durations as short as 3.6 fs and enables to control the electric field on a sub-cycle scale. Within the limits of the ultrabroad ...
متن کاملMeasurement of the carrier-envelope phase stability of a novel mid-infrared source
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 carrie...
