TOPTICA’s FemtoFiber dichro midIR generates radiation at 3 μm – 15 μm. Based on difference frequency generation of two optically synchronized laser pulses at tunable wavelengths of 1 – 2 μm a highly stable broadband emission of approximately 400 cm⁻¹ is generated. Here, the output at 1560 nm of an erbium-doped ultrafast fiber laser is superimposed with the long or short wavelength part of a supercontinuum.

The CEO-free mid-IR laser pulses are applied to attosecond spectroscopy where the extreme UV pulses consist of only a few optical cycles. The conversion of mid-IR radiation to extreme UV is accomplished by high harmonic generation. First, the mid-IR pulses are subject to optical parametric chirped amplification (OPCPA). Then, the intense laser fields are launched into an atomic beam or a gas-filled hollow core fibre to generate extreme UV attosecond laser pulses via high harmonics.

Optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA) is currently the only laser technology that simultaneously provides the high peak and average power along with few-cycle pulse duration required by the most demanding scientific applications. Our portfolio of cutting edge OPCPA products is based on years of experience in developing and manufacturing optical parametric amplifiers and femtosecond lasers. The few-cycle, CEP-stable pulses come either in a compact table-top ORPHEUS-OPCPA or a large, TW-level OPCPA-HE, similar to SYLOS at ELI ALPS.
