Dispersion-engineered multi-pass cell for single-stage post-compression of an ytterbium laser
29 March 2023
A post-compression method using a compact single-stage gas-based multi-pass cell (MPC) was developed in order to overcome spectral broadening limitations, allowing us to approach the few-cycle regime for Ytterbium laser technologies. This new paper has been published in Optics Letters.
