10. Carrier-envelope phase stabilization of a 16 TW, 10??Hz Ti:sapphire laser

Author

Takahashi, Eiji J., Fu, Yuxi, and Midorikawa, Katsumi

Abstract

We propose and demonstrate a simple and promising method for stabilizing the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) of a high-energy ultrashort pulse laser operating at a low repetition rate. The method was successfully applied to a Ti:sapphire laser operating at 10 Hz with 400 mJ pulse energy and 25 fs pulse duration (16 TW). The laser system consists of a 1 kHz front-end preamplifier and a 10 Hz back-end power amplifier. By sampling a 500 Hz reference pulse from a 1 kHz seed pulse, the measured single-shot CEP noise of a 10 Hz amplified pulse is stabilized to 670 mrad rms. Our proposed CEP stabilization concept can be applied to single-shot ultrahigh-power lasers, such as a petawatt laser system.

13. Octave-spanning supercontinuum coherent soft x-ray for producing a single-cycle soft x-ray pulse.

Author

Nishimiya K, Wang F, Lan P, and Takahashi EJ

Abstract

This study demonstrates the potential to generate a soft x-ray single-cycle attosecond pulse using a single-cycle mid-infrared pulse from advanced dual-chirped optical parametric amplification (DC-OPA). A super continuum high harmonic (HH) spectrum was generated in argon (80-160 eV) and neon (150-270 eV). The experimental spectra reasonably agree with those calculated by the strong-field approximation model and Maxwell's equations. In addition, simulation results indicate that the dispersion of HHs in argon can be compensated using a 207-nm Zr filter to obtain 40 as (Fourier transform limited (FTL)) pulses (1.1 cycles at 118 eV). For neon, a 278-nm Sn filter can compensate for the dispersion of HH and create 23 as FTL pulses (1.1 cycles at 206 eV). This soft x-ray single-cycle attosecond pulse is expected to be highly valuable for ultrafast science and applications in quantum information science.

14. Generation of 10- microJ coherent extreme-ultraviolet light by use of high-order harmonics.

Author

Takahashi E, Nabekawa Y, and Midorikawa K

Abstract

We demonstrate the generation of 10-microJ coherent extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) light at wavelengths from 73.6 to 42.6 nm, using high-order harmonics. The peak power of this coherent XUV light is estimated to be 0.13 GW at 62.3 nm, and the peak brightness achieved was 3x10(28) photons/(mm(2)mrad(2)s) . To our knowledge, this XUV energy is the highest value achieved with high-order harmonics.
