Hollow-core-waveguide compression of multi-millijoule CEP-stable 32 μm pulses
Open accessAbstract
We present the extension of high-power pulse compression deeper into the challenging IR spectral range around 3.2 μm wavelength, where the effects of material absorption, dispersion, and free electron disturbance on nonlinear propagation become increasingly limiting parameters. 5 mJ, 80 fs pulses from a KTA parametric amplifier were spectrally broadened in a large-core hollow fiber with argon as the nonlinear medium. Subsequent compression through anomalous dispersion in CaF2 yielded 2.5 mJ close-to-transform-limited two-cycle pulses exhibiting a passively stabilized carrier envelope phase (CEP). Furthermore, we outline the feasibility of generating sub-two-cycle pulses with good spatial and temporal characteristics.

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.
