Towards 10 TW Few-cycle Infrared Pulses Ssing Frequency Domain Optical Parametric Amplification (FOPA) Invited
08:30-09:00
2017-10-03 08:30 2017-10-03 09:00 America/Denver Towards 10 TW Few-cycle Infrared Pulses Ssing Frequency Domain Optical Parametric Amplification (FOPA) Using a non-collinear FOPA, a source delivering 1.8 µm, 30 mJ, 13 fs laser pulses is demonstrated. This is the first step towards 100 mJ for ~10 TW. This laser opens the way for high brightness soft X-ray attosecond pulses. Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza Poinsettia/ Quince

Amplified octave-spanning supercontinuum from chalcogenide waveguides for second-harmonic generation
09:00-09:15
2017-10-03 09:00 2017-10-03 09:15 America/Denver Amplified octave-spanning supercontinuum from chalcogenide waveguides for second-harmonic generation Octave-spanning supercontinuum is generated in chalcogenide, Ge23Sb7S70, waveguides pumped at 1550 nm. The 2um side is subsequently amplified in a Thulium-doped fiber amplifier and utilized for second-harmonic generation (SHG). The generated signal has 55 dB of signal-to-noise ratio Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza Poinsettia/ Quince

Extreme Nonlinear Optics Using Strong Mid-infrared Laser Pulses Invited
09:30-10:00
2017-10-03 09:30 2017-10-03 10:00 America/Denver Extreme Nonlinear Optics Using Strong Mid-infrared Laser Pulses We investigate the extreme nonlinear optical phenomena using mid-infrared pulses: 1) the laser filamentation in ambient air, pumped by a 2 micron kHz source, for atmospheric chemical detections and 2) the high-harmonic generation in solids, driven by sub-cycle 2.5-9.0 micron pulses, towards petahertz electronics.
