We exploit different optical parametric amplification schemes to generate ultra-broadband pulses with ?J-level energy broadly tunable from the near to the far-IR spectral region. In all cases we approach the single optical cycle limit with suitable compression techniques. Such pulses enable ultrafast spectroscopy on a variety of systems with unprecedented temporal resolution.

Abstract

We exploit different optical parametric amplification schemes to generate ultra-broadband pulses with ?J-level energy broadly tunable from the near to the far-IR spectral region. In all cases we approach the single optical cycle limit with suitable compression techniques. Such pulses enable ultrafast spectroscopy on a variety of systems with unprecedented temporal resolution.
