Generation of multi-color carrier-envelope phase locked pulse with continuous color tunability
Abstract
Several methods exist to lock carrier envelope phase (CEP), which is generally not locked in common laser systems. Our previous work succeeded passive lock of CEP by using a technique of non-collinear optical parametric amplifier. In the present work, we have proposed and demonstrated two schemes to generate multi-color CEP-locked beams using the non-collinear optical parametric amplifier. In the first scheme, spatial filter in the spatially dispersed seed light was used to generate three-color CEP-locked pulse demonstrating its arbitral color tunability. In the second scheme, parabolic chirp was introduced on the seed pulse to generate two color CEP-locked pulses with continuous color tunability.
