Abstract

The device of multi-pass-cell (MPC) could broaden the spectra of ultrafast laser pulses based on the self-phase-modulation (SPM) effect, which is composed of two concave mirrors and nonlinear mediums. In this paper, the pulse duration of 172 fs is compressed from a 11.3 ps Nd: YVO4 regenerative amplifier at the repetition rate of 1 kHz by using two stages of MPC systems. The pulse duration is shortened by a factor of 66, and the pulse energy of 117 μJ is obtained with a total efficiency of 51%. With high average power Nd-doped laser systems at 10 ps level, this method has the potential to generate high power femtosecond lasers with high efficiency, compact configuration, and low cost.
