CEP-Stabilized, Sub-18 fs, 10 kHz and TW-Class 1 kHz Dual Output Ti: Sa Laser with Wavelength Tunability Option

Generating energetic, few-cycle laser pulses with stabilized Carrier-Envelope Phase at high repetition rate constitutes a first step to access the ultra-fast dynamics underlying the interaction of matter with intense, ultrashort pulses in attosecond science or high field physics [1–3]. We present here a Ti:Sa based, CEP-stabilized, sub-20fs, 1 kHz / 10 kHz hybrid laser system with an original front-end design, delivering 0.9 TW peak power pulses at 1 kHz and close to 20W average power at 10 kHz. In parallel to this short pulse duration operation mode, it is possible to use the front end to tune its output wavelength within a 90 nm range around 800 nm.
