We have developed the first (to our knowledge) femtosecond Tm-fiber-laser-pumped Ho:YAG room-temperature chirped pulse amplifier system delivering scalable multimillijoule, multikilohertz pulses with a bandwidth exceeding 12 nm and average power of 15 W. The recompressed 530 fs pulses are suitable for broadband white light generation in transparent solids, which makes the developed source ideal for both pumping and seeding optical parametric amplifiers operating in the mid-IR spectral range.
我们开发了第一个(据我们所知)飞秒 Tm 光纤激光泵浦 Ho:YAG 室温啁啾脉冲放大器系统,该系统可提供可扩展的多毫焦耳、多千赫兹脉冲,带宽超过 12nm,平均功率为 15W。压缩后的 530fs 脉冲适用于透明固体中的宽带白光产生,这使得开发的源非常适合在中红外光谱范围内工作的光学参量放大器的泵浦和种子。
