title: CEP stable 1.6 cycle laser pulses at 1.8 μm.
abstract: By using the novel approach for pulse compression that combines spectral broadening in hollow-core fiber (HCF) with linear propagation in fused silica (FS), we generate 1.6 cycle 0.24 mJ laser pulses at 1.8 μm wavelength with a repetition rate of 1 kHz. These pulses are obtained with a white light seeded optical parametric amplifier (OPA) and shown to be passively carrier envelope phase (CEP) stable.
