研究目的
Investigating the capabilities of ultrafast amplifiers using industrial thin-disk technology to deliver high pulse energies and average powers, and exploring nonlinear compression techniques to achieve shorter pulse durations.
研究成果
The paper concludes that thin-disk laser technology offers exceptional scaling performance for ultrafast amplifiers, enabling record pulse energies and average powers. Nonlinear compression techniques, such as gas-filled multipass cells, show promise for achieving sub-50 fs pulses at high energies and repetition rates, opening new application perspectives.
研究不足
The approach to nonlinear pulse compression remains challenging at pulse energies higher than a few mJ, and scaling to hundreds of mJ pulse energies and multi-kW average powers would require a particularly complex multiplexing system.
