Towards a CEP-Stable 10-mJ-Level Mid-IR OPCPA at 7 μm

Mid-infrared milli-joule level table-top sources are known to be key enabling tool for the development of next level multi-kilo-electron-volt coherent X-ray sources [1] as well as the study of extreme photonics in the mid-infrared regime [2]. Moreover, due to the ultra-broadband bandwidth they cover an important range of live molecular fingerprint regions [3].
