AI Article Synopsis
- An infrared source was developed with a center wavelength of 1937 nm, capable of producing pulse energies of 1.35 mJ at a repetition rate of 1 kHz and a peak power of 2 GW.
- The pulses were compressed to 360 femtoseconds after 45 round trips in a diode-pumped Tm:YAP regenerative amplifier.
- By using 15 μJ from the system's output, researchers generated a white light continuum, demonstrating the system's potential as a pumping source for a mid-infrared optical parametric amplifier.
Article Abstract
We present an infrared source operating at 1937 nm center wavelength capable of generating 1.35 mJ pulse energies with 1 kHz repetition rate and 2 GW peak power based on a diode-pumped Tm:YAP regenerative amplifier. The obtained pulses after 45 round trips have been compressed down to 360 fs. Using only a small portion (15 μJ) of the output of the system we managed to generate a white light continuum in a 3 mm YAG window that exhibits the viability of the system as a suitable candidate for a pumping source of a mid-infrared optical parametric amplifier.
