Seminar: High Power Femtosecond Lasers- The Next Generation

Abstract:
New applications in bio-Imaging, material processing and time-resolved molecular spectroscopy require new high-power Laser sources in the near- and mid-infrared spectral regions. High power femtosecond Lasers based on optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifiers (OPCPA) pumped by recent material processing lasers offer average powers up to 100 W and support pulse durations down to the few-cycle regime.
In my presentation, I will give an overview about different laser architectures based on OPCPA. The high single-pass gain and low absorption of the nonlinear amplifier crystals offer a robust set-up on a compact footprint. In addition, the broad amplification bandwidth and our white-light generation enable tunable Laser sources in wavelength regions between 350 nm and 3500 nm. We reduce complexity and increase stability to provide easy-to-use femtosecond lasers and to enable our customers to target new frontiers in ultrafast applications.
