High-Order Harmonic Generation in Solids: The Role of Intraband Transitions in Extreme Nonlinear Optics

H Hirori, SA Sato, Y Kanemitsu - The Journal of Physical …, 2024 - ACS Publications
High-order harmonic generation (HHG) in gases is frequently used nowadays to produce
attosecond pulses and coherent radiation in the visible-to-soft X-ray spectral range. HHG in …

Nonlinear compression of few-cycle multi-mJ 5 µm pulses in ZnSe around zero-dispersion

M Bock, L von Grafenstein, D Ueberschaer… - Optics Letters, 2024 - opg.optica.org
We present a compact nonlinear compression scheme for the generation of millijoule few-

Phase dependence of Kerr-based parametric amplification

NG Drouillard, TJ Hammond - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
Kerr instability amplification can amplify over an octave of spectrum, a broad bandwidth
supporting few-cycle pulses. However, dispersion management in this regime is crucial, and …

Serial synthesis of mid-infrared optical parametric amplifiers for enlarging a gain bandwidth

X Gu, Y Ding, P Yuan, J Wang, L Qian, J Ma - Optics Letters, 2023 - opg.optica.org
Broadband optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs) require a group-velocity matching between
the signal and the idler. For mid-infrared OPAs, however, the group-velocity matching is …
