    Spatio-temporal characterisation of a 100 kHz 24 W sub-3-cycle NOPCPA laser system
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2018-02-26) Witting, Tobias; Furch, Federico J.; Vrakking, Marc J.J.
    In recent years, OPCPA and NOPCPA laser systems have shown the potential to supersede Ti:sapphire plus post-compression based laser systems to drive next generation attosecond light sources via direct amplification of few-cycle pulses to high pulse energies at high repetition rates. In this paper, we present a sub 3-cycle, 100 kHz, 24 W NOPA laser system and characterise its spatio-temporal properties using the SEA-F-SPIDER technique. Our results underline the importance of spatio-temporal diagnostics for these emerging laser systems.

    Retrieval of attosecond pulse ensembles from streaking experiments using mixed state time-domain ptychography
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2020) Witting, Tobias; Furch, Federico J.; Kornilov, Oleg; Osolodkov, Mikhail; Schulz, Claus P.; Vrakking, Marc J.J.
    The electric field of attosecond laser pulses can be retrieved from laser-dressed photoionisation measurements, where electron wavepackets that result from single-photon ionisation by the attosecond pulse in the presence of a dressing field are produced. In case of fluctuating dressing laser and/or attosecond pulses, e.g. due to pulse-to-pulse fluctuations of the carrier envelope phase of the infrared laser pulse, commonly applied retrieval algorithms result in the erroneous extraction of the pulse fields. We present a mixed state time-domain ptychography algorithm for the retrieval of pulse ensembles from attosecond streaking experiments. © 2020 The Author(s). Published by IOP Publishing Ltd.
