We demonstrate the generation of 22.6 μJ of combined energy at 3 μm for sub-300fs pulses at a repetition rate of 1 kHz using a LGSe optical parametric amplifier (OPA). The LGSe OPA is pumped by the 140-fs 1.6 μm pulses from a 300-mW KTA optical parametric chirped pulse amplifier (OPCPA) based on an all-optical synchronization scheme. By using a highly-nonlinear fiber, the output of an erbium-doped fiber laser operating at 1560 nm is shifted to 1050 nm in order to coherently seed a Nd:YLF regenerative amplifier. The LGSe OPA is seeded using the MIR coming from the amplification of the 1.6 μm in the OPCPA.
我们展示了使用LGSe光学参量放大器(OPA),以1kHz的重复频率,为亚300fs脉冲在3μm波长处产生22.6μJ的组合能量。LGSe OPA由基于全光同步方案的300mW KTA光学参量啁啾脉冲放大器(OPCPA)产生的140fs、1.6μm脉冲泵浦。通过使用高非线性光纤,将工作在1560nm的掺铒光纤激光器的输出波长转换至1050nm,以便相干地注入Nd:YLF再生放大器。LGSe OPA使用来自OPCPA中1.6μm光放大产生的中红外光(MIR)进行注入。
