摘要

This study presents the investigation of the previously scarcely explored high energy few-cycle post-compression regime. Experimental shortening of the 5 mJ, 830 nm and 7.7 fs pulse with a flat-top spatial profile was achieved by nonlinear spectral broadening in a single 1 mm thick fused silica plate. The results show \(\mathrm {3.8^{+0.20}_{-0.11}\,fs}\) pulse duration with a \(\mathrm {64^{+2}_{-5}}\,\%\) relative peak power. The achieved spatial-spectral homogeneity was \(97.1\,\%\) . By employing the deformable mirror wavefront correction the Strehl ratio of 0.88 was shown even in the presence of a strong nonlinear interaction. It was demonstrated that a simple numerical model can predict output spectral properties well. The presented research might enable the future generation of high energy and quality single-cycle super-octave pulses.
