Single-Cycle, Carrier-Envelope Phase Locked Lasers at 8 Micron

Abstract

The major goals are to develop a high-power long-wavelength infrared attosecond driving laser based on Optical Parametric Chirped Pulse Amplification, which delivers 25 fs (single-cycle), carrier-envelope phased stabilized, 5 mJ pulses centered at 8 micron with a 2 kHz repetition rate. The optical parametric crystals, Zinc Germanium Phosphide (ZnGeP2 crystals), for amplifying the infrared signal are pumped by a home-build Ho:YLF laser that are driven by Tm:fiber lasers.
