摘要：

We generate sub-four-cycle pulses (41.6 fs) with 12 mu J of pulse energy in the mid-infrared spectral range (center wavelength 3.4 mu m) from a high-repetition-rate, collinear three-stage optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier (OPCPA) operating at 50 kHz. Apodized aperiodically poled MgO:LiNbO3 crystals with a negative chirp rate are employed as gain media to achieve ultrabroadband phase-matching while minimizing optical parametric generation. The seed pulses are obtained via a 1.56 mu m femtosecond fiber laser, which is spectrally broadened in a dispersion-shifted telecom fiber to support 1000 nm bandwidth idler pulses in the mid-infrared.
