Sub-100-fs optical parametric generator pumped by a high-repetition-rate Ti:sapphire regenerative amplifier system.
Infrared light pulses as short as 70 fs that are nearly bandwidth limited are obtained in a simple double-pass optical parametric generator with a single beta-barium borate nonlinear crystal. Tunability in the 1.2-1.3microm range is demonstrated with sub-100-fs pulse duration, microjoule pulse energy, and 1-kHz repetition rate.
