Seven‐Fold Compression of Mid‐Infrared Pulses Using a Series of Titanium Dioxide Plates

ABSTRACT We demonstrate a compact approach for generating 2‐cycle mid‐infrared pulses centered at 2.038 µm using bulk TiO 2 plates for nonlinear spectral broadening and self‐compression. Starting from a passively CEP‐stable idler pulse produced by an optical parametric amplifier,...
