Fiber-amplifier pumped high average power few-cycle pulse non-collinear OPCPA

Opt Express. 2010 Mar 1;18(5):4689-94. doi: 10.1364/OE.18.004689.

Abstract

We report on the performance of a 60 kHz repetition rate sub-10 fs, optical parametric chirped pulse amplifier system with 2 W average power and 3 GW peak power. This is to our knowledge the highest average power sub-10 fs kHz-amplifier system reported to date. The amplifier is conceived for applications at free electron laser facilities and is designed such to be scalable in energy and repetition rate.
