Item Open Access Broadly tunable carrier envelope phase stable optical parametric amplifier pumped by a monolithic ytterbium fiber amplifier(Optical Society of America, 2009) Fernández, A.; Zhu, L.; Verhoef, A.J.; Sidorov-Biryukov, D.; Pugžlys, A.; Baltuška, A.; Liao, K.-H.; Liu, C.-H.; Galvanauskas, A.; Kane, S.; Holzwarth, R.; Ilday F. Ö.In an effort to develop a robust and efficient front end for a chirped-pulse parametric amplification chain, we demonstrate a broadband difference-frequency converter driven by a monolithic femtosecond Yb-doped-fiber amplifier and emitting carrier-envelope-offset-free pulses with the energy of tens of nanojoules tunable in the wavelength range from 1200 nm to beyond 2 μm. Next to providing these seed pulses, the system enables direct optical synchronization of Nd- and Yb-doped pump lasers for subsequent parametric amplification.Item Open Access Pulse fidelity control in a 20-μJ sub-200-fs monolithic Yb-fiber amplifier(Pleiades Publishing, 2011-06-04) Fernández, A.; Zhu, L.; Verhoef, A. J.; Sidorov-Biryukov, D.; Pugzlys, A.; Galvanauskas, A.; Ilday, F. Ö.; Baltuška, A.We discuss nonlinearity management versus energy scalability and compressibility in a three-stage monolithic 100-kHz repetition rate Yb-fiber amplifier designed as a driver source for the generation and tunable parametric amplification of a carrier-envelope phase stable white-light supercontinuum.
