Millijoule femtosecond pulses at 1937 nm from a diode-pumped ring cavity Tm:YAP regenerative amplifier
2018
We present an infrared source operating at 1937 nm center wavelength capable of generating 1.35 mJ pulse energies with 1 kHz repetition rate and 2 GW peak power based on a diode-pumped Tm:YAP regenerative amplifier. The obtained pulses after 45 round trips have been compressed down to 360 fs. Using only a small portion (15 μJ) of the output of the system we managed to generate a white light continuum in a 3 mm YAG window that exhibits the viability of the system as a suitable candidate for a pumping source of a mid-infrared optical parametric amplifier.
