Self-compression of millijoule pulses to 78 fs duration in a white-light filament
Abstract
We demonstrate a novel technique for pulse compression of few-millijoule pulses with shorter than 10 fs duration. Our technique relies on spectral broadening in a white-light filament generated in a noble gas. In this filament we observe self-compression of 45 fs pulses down to below 8 fs duration without the need for any additional dispersion compensation. Using input pulses of 5 mJ, we generate compressed pulses with up to 3.8 mJ pulse energy. Therefore this method is much more efficient than previously demonstrated compression schemes. The generated peak powers of more than 100 GW at a kilohertz repetition rate open up a perspective for compression of few-cycle pulses with energies well beyond the capacity of hollow-fiber compressors.

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.
