Generating Multi-TW, Sub-4-fs Light Pulses
A research group at Umeå University produced a laser source with < 4 fs pulse duration and > 5 TW peak power. This device is now the most powerful sub-4-fs laser system in the world. The front-end of the system contains Light Conversion‘s PHAROS and ORPHEUS-OPCPA.
The paper detailing this work is entitled, “Utilizing the temporal superresolution approach in an optical parametric synthesizer to generate multi-TW sub-4-fs light pulses,” is available on line in the journal Optics Express.
Features of the PHAROS modular-design femtosecond lasers for industry and science:
- 100 fs – 20 ps tunable pulse duration
- 3 mJ maximum pulse energy
- 20 W maximum output power
- Single-shot – 1 MHz repetition rate
- Pulse picker for pulse-on-demand mode
- BiBurst
- Automated harmonic generators (up to 5th harmonic)
- CEP stabilization option
- Repetition rate locking to an external source
Features of the ORPHEUS compact, few-cycle, CEP-stable OPCPA systems:
- < 6 fs transform-limited pulse duration
- Up to 1 MHz repetition rate
- Up to 320 W pump power
- Up to 8 mJ pump pulse energy
- CEP stabilization option
- Compact footprint
