- Item27 W 2.1 µm OPCPA system for coherent soft X-ray generation operating at 10 kHz(Washington, DC : Soc., 2020) Feng, Tianli; Heilmann, Anke; Bock, Martin; Ehrentraut, Lutz; Witting, Tobias; Yu, Haohai; Stiel, Holger; Eisebitt, Stefan; Schnürer, MatthiasWe developed a high power optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA) system at 2.1 µm harnessing a 500 W Yb:YAG thin disk laser as the only pump and signal generation source. The OPCPA system operates at 10 kHz with a single pulse energy of up to 2.7 mJ and pulse duration of 30 fs. The maximum average output power of 27 W sets a new record for an OPCPA system in the 2 µm wavelength region. The soft X-ray continuum generated through high harmonic generation with this driver laser can extend to around 0.55 keV, thus covering the entire water window (284 eV - 543 eV). With a repetition rate still enabling pump-probe experiments on solid samples, the system can be used for many applications. © 2020 Optical Society of America under the terms of the OSA Open Access Publishing Agreement
