    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.
