simultaneously, and here we propose a laser system which is capable of meeting all three goals
simultaneously: a noncollinear optical parametric amplifier pumped by a MHz/μJ-oscillator with
cavity-dumping (MHz-NOPA). It can produce … In conclusion we have demonstrated a few-cycle
NOPA directly pumped by a femtosecond oscillator with a MHz repetition rate. A pulse duration
of 9.7 fs and a pulse energy of 45 nJ has been obtained, resulting in a peak power of 4 MW. …

We demonstrate the generation of 10-fs-pulses from a noncollinear optical parametric amplifier (NOPA). The NOPA is driven by microjoule pulses from a directly diode pumped Yb:KYW oscillator with cavity-dumping.
