Abstract

We demonstrate the generation of widely tunable sub-20fs Gaussian-shaped laser pulses using a grating-based 4-f pulse shaper and a liquid crystal spatial light modulator. Our pump source is an Yb:KGW solitary mode-locked oscillator at 44MHz repetition rate which is coupled into a large mode area microstructured fiber to generate a broad spectrum from below 900nm to above 1150nm. These pulses are precompressed by a prism sequence and subsequently sent into the pulse shaper. We use the multiphoton intrapulse interference phase scan (MIIPS) for phase shaping and iterative amplitude optimization to achieve Gaussian-like tunable sub-20fs pulses with output powers of up to 142mW as well as nontunable pulses with 310mW output power as short as 11.5fs.

Figures (3)

Fig. 1
Fig. 1 Top: Schematic setup. The Yb:KGW oscillator pulses are coupled into an LMA-8 PCF, whose output is precompressed by a prism sequence. The laser pulses are then sent into the 4-f pulse shaper for amplitude and phase modulation. At last a nonlinear signal is generated in a 10μm thin BBO crystal which is measured by a spectrometer. Bottom: Iteratively measured MIIPS traces showing the 1st, 3rd and 5th iteration.
