10 mJ 5-cycle pulses at 1.8 μ m through optical parametric amplification
Abstract
We report the generation of 10 mJ, 5-cycle pulses at 1.8 μm (30 fs) at 100 Hz repetition rate using an optical parametric amplifier pumped by a high energy Titanium-Sapphire laser system (total energy of 23 mJ for Signal and Idler). This is the highest reported peak power (0.33 TW) in the infrared spectral range. This high-energy long wavelength laser source is well suited for driving various nonlinear optical phenomena such as high harmonic generation for high flux ultrafast soft X-ray pulses.

Few laboratories, including ALLS and Riken, are working on upscaling conventional OPAs to 10 mJ per pulse at up to 100 Hz repetition rate.
“With this objective, few laboratories in the world, including the Advanced Laser Light Source ALLS (Varennes, Canada) and Riken (Tokyo, Japan) are working on upscaling conventional OPAs to the range of 10 mJ per pulse at up to 100 Hz repetition rate [152,153].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
