Isolated Soft-X-Ray Attosecond Pulse Generation Using Synthesized Strong-Field Mid-IR Pulses

Abstract

The MIT-KSU 'Isolated Attosecond Pulse Generation Using Synthesized Mid-IR Pulses' program enabled not only to develop novel few cycle and sub-cycle mid-IR laser sources based on OPA, OPCPA, and pulse synthesis but also to study strong-field physics and extreme nonlinear optics driven by mid-IR laser pulses in the wavelength range of 2-10 um. Specifically, we developed a long-term stable, multi-mJ, kHz, 26 fs, 2.1 um OPCPA as a primary driving source for this project.
