Ultrafast MHz-rate burst-mode pump-probe laser for the FLASH FEL facility based on nonlinear compression of ps-level pulses from an Yb-amplifier chain
Marcus Seidel, Federico Pressacco, Oender Akcaalan +24
The Free-Electron Laser (FEL) FLASH offers the worldwide still unique capability to study ultrafast processes with high-flux, high-repetition rate XUV and soft X-ray pulses. The va…

Post-compression of picosecond pulses into the few-cycle regime
Prannay Balla, Ammar Bin Wahid, Ivan Sytcevich +18
In this work, we demonstrate post-compression of 1.2 picosecond laser pulses to 13 fs via gas-based multi-pass spectral broadening. Our results yield a single-stage compression fac…
