    Map** anomalous dispersion of air with ultrashort mid-infrared pulses

    We present experimental studies of long-distance transmission of ultrashort mid-infrared laser pulses through atmospheric air, probing air dispersion in the 3.6–4.2-μm wavelength range. Atmospheric air is stil...

    Conductivity and discharge guiding properties of mid-IR laser filaments

    The electric properties of mid-IR filaments in air have been investigated in comparison with their more traditional near-IR counterparts. Although the number of ions left after the pulse is similar for both sp...

    Multi-millijoule few-cycle mid-infrared pulses through nonlinear self-compression in bulk

    The physics of strong-field applications requires driver laser pulses that are both energetic and extremely short. Whereas optical amplifiers, laser and parametric, boost the energy, their gain bandwidth restr...

    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...

    Spectroscopy and lasing of cryogenically cooled Yb, Na:CaF2

    Absorption, photoluminescence and cw-lasing properties of a novel Na+-codoped Yb3+:CaF2 laser crystal are investigated in the temperature range from 10 K to 290 K. Cryogenic cooling leads to the disappearance of ...
