摘 要:Tailoring the properties of the driving laser to the need of applications often requires compromises among laser stability,high peak and average power levels,pulse duration,and spectral *** instance,spectroscopy with optical frequency combs in the extreme/visible ultraviolet spectral region requires a high peak power of the near-IR driving laser,and therefore high average power,pulse duration of a few tens of fs,and maximal available spectral ***,the parametric conversion efficiency is higher for pulses with a duration in the 100-fs range due to temporal walk-off and coating *** we suggest an approach to adjust the spectral characteristics of high-power chirped-pulse amplification(CPA)to the requirements of different nonlinear frequency converters while preserving the low-phase-noise(PN)properties of the *** achieve spectral tunability,we installed a mechanical spectral shaper in a free-space section of the stretcher of an in-house-developed ytterbium-fiber-based CPA *** CPA system delivers 100 W of average power at a repetition rate of 132.4 *** gaining control over the spectral properties,we preserve the relative-intensity-noise and PN properties of the *** high-power CPA can easily be adjusted to deliver either a spectrum ideal for mid-IR light generation(full width at half maximum of∼11 nm,compressed pulse duration of 230 fs)or a spectrum ideal for highly nonlinear processes such as high-harmonic generation(−10 dB level of50 nm,transform-limited pulse duration of∼65 fs).
