}It is demonstrated that an ultra-broadband OPA centered at ~6 µm, pumped by a 2.1-µm OPCPA, with an octave-spanning idler bandwidth from 4.3 µm to 9.0 µm could be generated without any additional compression.

This thesis demonstrates the generation of single-optical-cycle pulses in the midinfrared, which are generated using adiabatic difference frequency in an aperiodically polled lithium niobate crystal, which makes this source immediately suitable for applications requiring shaped pulses.

Physics
By guiding a mid-infrared femtosecond laser in a high-pressure gas, ultrahigh harmonics can be generated that emerge as a bright supercontinuum that spans the entire electromagnetic spectrum from the ultraviolet to more than 1.6 kilo–electron volts, allowing, in principle, the generation of pulses as short as 2.5 attoseconds.
