Nearly-octave, sub-two-cycle, CEP-locked, intense IR pulses from BIBO OPCPA using 810-nm pump pulses

Abstract

We report on the generation of 8.2-fs, CEP-stabilized, 0.52-mJ pulses at 1 kHz with a nearly octave spectrum around 1500 nm based on optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification using BiB3O6 and 810-nm pump.
