Abstract

Generation of ultrashort and intense laser pulses is the primary motive in ultrafast and nonlinear science. Unfortunately, only a limited number of active media allows for scaling ultrashort pulses to energies greater than a few mJ at kHz repetition rate. For this reason, the available wavelengths are extremely restricted. To drive ultrafast processes in novel frequency domains, the ideal approach is to harness a source of intense pulses suitable for nonlinear frequency conversion at high power and ultrabroad bandwidth. Here we present generation of 615 fs pulses at 1030 nm with 17 mJ energy at 3 kHz repetition rate by a combination of Er/Yb:fiber and Yb:thin-disk technology. This system pumps an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) tunable in the near-IR wavelength range and capable of generating few-ten fs pulses with up to 500 µJ energy.
