High‐power laser sources are widely used in industrial precision processing and act as a
new platform for strong‐field physics research using peak power over petawatt. This review …

Femtosecond pulse generation was pioneered four decades ago using mode-locked dye
lasers, which dominated the field for the following 20 years. Dye lasers were then replaced …

The generation of sub‐optical‐cycle, carrier–envelope phase‐stable light pulses is one of
the frontiers of ultrafast optics. The two key ingredients for sub‐cycle pulse generation are …

We demonstrate the generation of 1.1 J pulses of picosecond duration at 1 kHz repetition
rate (1.1 kW average power) from a diode-pumped chirped pulse amplification Yb: YAG …

A design for a compact x-ray light source (CXLS) with flux and brilliance orders of magnitude
beyond existing laboratory scale sources is presented. The source is based on inverse …

In recent years, optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA) has emerged as a
powerful tool for the generation of ultrashort pulses with extreme peak intensity. It has …

We report the demonstration of a diode-pumped chirped pulse amplification Yb: YAG laser
that produces λ= 1.03 μm pulses of up to 1.5 J energy compressible to sub-5 ps duration at a …

We demonstrate a versatile femtosecond power amplifier using a Yb: YAG single crystal
fiber operating from 10 kHz to 10 MHz. For a total pump power of 75 W, up to 30 W is …

We report on a multi-mJ 2.1 μm optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA)
system operating at 1 kHz repetition rate, pumped by a picosecond cryogenic Yb: YAG laser …

We report on a kHz, mJ-level, carrier-envelope phase (CEP)-stable ultrabroadband optical
parametric chirped-pulse amplifier (OPCPA) at 2.1-μm wavelength, pumped by a high …
