Simultaneous second-harmonic generation, third-harmonic generation, and four-wave mixing microscopy with single sub-8 fs laser pulses
We demonstrate a compact pulse compression scheme that offers flexible chirp control for improved conversion efficiencies in high resolution nonlinear optical microscopy. An Er:fiber laser combined with a highly nonlinear optical fiber yields pulses centered at 1100 nm with a bandwidth of 500 nm. The compressed pulses with a duration of 7.6 fs enable simultaneous second-harmonic generation, thi...
متن کاملHigh harmonic generation with long-wavelength few-cycle laser pulses
We report the extension of hollow-core fibre pulse compression to longer wavelengths. High-energy multi-cycle infrared pulses are generated via optical parametric amplification and subsequently broadened in the fibre. 2.5-cycle pulses at the Signal wavelength (1.4 μm) and 1.6-cycle pulses at the Idler wavelength (1.8 μm) in the sub-millijoule regime have been generated. New compression schemes ...
متن کاملHarmonic generation by atoms interacting with intense ultrashort laser pulses
The interaction of intense ultrashort laser pulses with a gas of argon atoms is numerically investigated. The investigation utilizes a model that solves both the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and the wave equation self-consistently. The time-dependent Schrödinger equation for single-active electron in the effective static potential and in the potential of electron-laser interaction is sol...
متن کاملMid-infrared ultrafast laser pulses induced third harmonic generation in nitrogen molecules on an excited state
We report on generation of third harmonic from nitrogen molecules on the excited state with a weak driver laser pulse at a mid-infrared wavelength. The excited nitrogen molecules are generated using a circularly polarized intense femtosecond pulse which produces energetic electrons by photoionization to realize collisional excitation of nitrogen molecules. Furthermore, since the third harmonic ...
متن کاملThird-harmonic generation in isotropic media by focused pulses
For focused pulses of light in isotropic nonlinear media, third-harmonic generation can be strongly affected by group-velocity mismatch between the fundamental and third-harmonic. There is a characteristic time determined by the group-velocity mismatch and the Rayleigh range of the focused pulse. The dynamics depend on two dimensionless quantities, namely the ratio of the characteristic time to...
