High spatio-temporal quality, CEP-controlled, sub-10fs front-end light source based on XPW

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

We present the current development of an injector for a high-contrast, ultrashort laser system devoted to relativistic laser-plasma interactions at kHz repetition rate [1]. The front-end is based on a 1 kHz, CEP-stabilized Ti:Sa CPA, delivering 1.4 mJ, 28 fs pulses, followed by a cross-polarized wave (XPW) filter for temporal cleaning and shortening. This filter is an optimized version of the waveguided XPW device described in [2]. 300 μJ pulses are routinely generated, corresponding to a XPW internal efficiency as high as 33% and a global energy transmission of 22%.
