  • compact extreme ultraviolet source at megahertz Pulse Repetition Rate with a low noise ultrafast thin disk laser oscillator
    Optica, 2015
    Co-Authors: Florian Emaury, Andreas Diebold, Clara J Saraceno, U Keller
    Abstract:

    We present a compact extreme ultraviolet (XUV) source based on high-harmonic generation (HHG) at 2.4 MHz Pulse Repetition Rate driven from the compressed output of a mode-locked thin-disk laser (TDL) oscillator. The system geneRates very high peak intensities, which enable highly nonlinear frequency conversion reaching VUV/XUV energies. These sources significantly increase the signal-to-noise ratio and reduce measurement durations in many fields such as condensed matter physics. The Pulse Repetition Rate is increased from kilohertz to megahertz with high average photon flux, while keeping the Pulse energy sufficiently low to avoid space charge effects. The system uses a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror mode-locked Yb:YAG TDL delivering an average power of up to 70 W with subpicosecond Pulses, which are efficiently compressed to sub-100 fs in a simple, single-stage compressor based on a Kagome-type hollow-core photonic crystal fiber. Focusing into a high-pressure xenon gas jet, we geneRate XUV radiation with up to >5×107  photons/s on the 19th harmonic (23 eV). This HHG system is very compact, has low-noise performance comparable to standard ultrafast low-power laser oscillators, and provides a new tool for the study of attosecond dynamics in condensed matter physics.

  • Pulse Repetition Rate scaling from 5 to 100 ghz with a high power semiconductor disk laser
    Optics Express, 2014
    Co-Authors: M Mangold, C A Zaugg, Sandro M Link, Matthias Golling, B W Tilma, U Keller
    Abstract:

    The high-power semiconductor laser studied here is a modelocked integRated external-cavity surface emitting laser (MIXSEL), which combines the gain of vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VECSELs) with the saturable absorber of a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) in a single semiconductor layer stack. The MIXSEL concept allows for stable and self-starting fundamental passive modelocking in a simple straight cavity and the average power scaling is based on the semiconductor disk laser concept. Previously record-high average output power from an optically pumped MIXSEL was demonstRated, however the long Pulse duration of 17 ps prevented higher Pulse Repetition Rates and many interesting applications such as supercontinuum generation and broadband frequency comb generation. With a novel MIXSEL structure, the first femtosecond operation was then demonstRated just recently. Here we show that such a MIXSEL can also support Pulse Repetition Rate scaling from ≈5 GHz to >100 GHz with excellent beam quality and high average output power, by mechanically changing the cavity length of the linear straight cavity and the output coupler. Up to a Pulse Repetition Rate of 15 GHz we obtained average output power >1 W and Pulse durations <4 ps. Furthermore we have been able to demonstRate the highest Pulse Repetition Rate from any fundamentally modelocked semiconductor disk laser with 101.2 GHz at an average output power of 127 mW and a Pulse duration of 570 fs.
