Generation and kilohertz-rate amplification of femtosecond optical pulses around 800 nm

Journal Article · · J. Opt. Soc. Am. B: Opt. Phys.; (United States)
The generation of optical pulses of less than 100-fsec duration in the near-infrared region at wavelengths around 800 nm is reported. These pulses were amplified to microjoule energies at a 6-kHz repetition rate, producing focusable power densities of greater than 10/sup 13/ W/cm/sup 2/. A white-light continuum extending into the ultraviolet and infrared regions results when these pulses are focused into a jet of ethylene glycol, opening new possibilities for femtosecond spectroscopic investigations.
