Abstract

A three-stage high conversion efficiency optical parametric amplifier (OPA) with passively stabilized carrier-envelope phase (CEP) is presented. After passing through an argon-filled hollow fiber and the dispersion compensator for pulse compression, CEP stabilized 0.7 mJ, 1.5 cycle laser pulses at 1.75 μm center wavelength are obtained. Terahertz (THz) emission spectroscopy is adopted to determine the value of CEP, indicating an excellent long-term CEP stability.
