Open AccessPolarization-state-resolved high-harmonic spectroscopy of solids
Attosecond metrology sensitive to sub-optical-cycle electronic and structural dynamics is opening up new avenues for ultrafast spectroscopy of condensed matter. Using intense lightwaves to precisely control th...

Stimulated X-Ray Raman Scattering with Free-Electron Laser Sources
Stimulated electronic x-ray Raman scattering is the building block for several proposed x-ray pump probe techniques, that would allow the study of electron dynamics at unprecedented timescales. We present high...

Dual-Chirped Optical Parametric Amplification for Generating High-Power Infrared Pulses
We propose and calculate a novel OPA method for obtaining an ultrafast high-power infrared pulse source, called dual-chirped OPA (DC-OPA), based on a Ti:sapphire laser system in a collinear configuration. By c...

10-mJ optically synchronized CEP-stable chirped parametric amplifier at 1.5 μm
We demonstrate the generation of 10-mJ 1.5-μm few-cycle pulses from a 4-stage OPCPA system. The system is based on a fusion of femtosecond DPSS Yb technology and a picosecond Nd:YAG pump laser. In a first prel...

Multimillijoule Optically Synchronized and Carrier-Envelope-Phase-Stable Chirped Parametric Amplification at 1.5 μm
Efficient infrared 35-THz-wide parametric amplification at 1.5 μm with the energy of ~10 mJ is obtained in a 4-stage OPCPA using a combination of a 1030-nm 200-fs Yb- and a 1064-nm 60-ps Nd amplifier seeded wi...
