Double-passed, High-energy Quasiphase-matched Optical Parametric Chirped-pulse Amplifier
Quasiphase-matched (QPM) optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA) in periodically poled materials such as periodically poled LiNbO3 (PPLN) and periodically poled KTiOPO4 (PPKTP) has been shown to ex...

Transmission Bragg-grating grisms for pulse compression
We design a grism compressor based on transmission gratings and high refractive index prisms to compensate for both the second- and third-order dispersions of SF57 glass at 800 nm. The use of transmission grat...

Open AccessA versatile high-average-power ultrafast infrared driver tailored for high-harmonic generation and vibrational spectroscopy
We report on an ultrafast infrared optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier (OPCPA), pumped by a 200-W thin-disk Yb-based regenerative amplifier at a repetition rate of 100 kHz. The OPCPA is tunable in the s...
