    Generation and characterization of isolated attosecond pulses for coincidence spectroscopy at 100 kHz repetition rate
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2020) Witting, T.; Furch, F.; Osolodkov, M.; Schell, F.; Menoni, C.; Schulz, C.P.; Vrakking, M.J.J.
    An attosecond pump-probe beamline with 100 kHz repetition rate for coincidence experiments has been developed. It is based on non-collinear optical parametric chirped pulse ampli-cation and delivers 100 µJ sub-4 fs to an high-harmonic generation source. Details on the generation and characterization of isolated attosecond pulses will be presented. © 2019 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.

    Graphene mode-locked Tm,Ho-codoped crystalline garnet laser producing 70-fs pulses near 21 µm
    (Washington, DC : OSA, 2019) Zhao, Yongguang; Chen, Weidong; Wang, Li; Wang, Yicheng; Pan, Zhongben; Dai, Xiaojun; Yuan, Hualei; Cai, Huaqiang; Zhang, Yan; Bae, Ji Eun; Park, Tae Gwan; Rotermund, Fabian; Loiko, Pavel; Serres, Josep Maria; Mateos, Xavier; Shen, Deyuan; Griebner, Uwe; Petrov, Valentin
    Bilayer graphene synthesized by chemical vapor deposition is successfully applied as a saturable absorber (SA) for the passive mode-locking of a Tm,Ho:CLNGG laser at 2093nm. Near transform-limited pulses as short as 70 fs, i.e., 10 optical cycles, are produced at a 89 MHz repetition rate with 69 mW average output power. To the best of our knowledge, these are the shortest pulses ever reported from graphene-SA mode-locked Tm, or Ho-lasers in the 2 µm spectral region, including bulk and fiber lasers.

    Sub-6 optical-cycle Kerr-lens mode-locked Tm:Lu2O3 and Tm:Sc2O3 combined gain media laser at 2.1 μm
    (Washington, DC : Soc., 2021) Suzuki, Anna; Kränkel, Christian; Tokurakawa, Masaki
    We present a combined gain media Kerr-lens mode-locked laser based on a Tm:Lu2O3 ceramic and a Tm:Sc2O3 single crystal. Pulses as short as 41 fs, corresponding to less than 6 optical cycles, were obtained with an average output power of 42 mW at a wavelength of 2.1 μm and a repetition rate of 93.3 MHz. Furthermore, a maximum average power of 316 mW with a pulse duration of 73 fs was achieved.

    Influence of diluted acid mixtures on selective etching of MHz- and kHz-fs-laser inscribed structures in YAG
    (Washington, DC : OSA, 2021) Hasse, Kore; Kip, Detlef; Kränkel, Christian
    We show that the inscription velocity of fs-laser written structures in YAG crystals can be significantly improved by the use of MHz repetition rates for the writing process. Using a 10 MHz inscription laser, record high writing velocities up to 100 mm/s are achieved. Also, the selective etching process is accelerated using a diluted mixture of 22% H3PO4 and 24% H2SO4. The diluted mixture enables selective etching of up to 9.6 mm long, 1 µm wide and 18 µm high microchannels in 23 days. The etching parameter D of 11.2 µm2/s is a factor of 3 higher than previously reported and the selectivity is even increased by an order of magnitude.
