摘要
We produce carrier-envelope-phase-stable 15.7-fs (2-cycle) 740-mu J pulses at the 2.1-mu m carrier wavelength, from a three-stage optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier system, pumped by an optically synchronized 49-ps 11-mJ Nd:YLF laser. A novel seed pulse spectral shaping method is used to ascertain the true amplified seed energy and the parametric superfluorescence levels. (C) 2008 Optical Society of America
