2-μm wavelength, high-energy Ho:YLF chirped-pulse amplifier for mid-infrared OPCPA
A 2-μm wavelength laser delivering up to 39-mJ energy, ∼10 ps duration pulses at 100-Hz repetition rate is reported.
The system relies on chirped pulse amplification (CPA): a modelocked Er:Tm:Ho fiber-seeder is followed by a
Ho:YLF-based regenerative amplifier and a cryogenically cooled Ho:YLF single pass amplifier. Stretching and
compressing are performed with large aperture chirped volume Bragg gratings (CVBG). At a peak power of
