Generation of stable sub-10 fs pulses at 400 nm in a hollow fiber for UV pump-probe experiment

Opt Express. 2010 Mar 1;18(5):4664-72. doi: 10.1364/OE.18.004664.

Abstract

Stable sub-10-fs pulses useful for many pump-probe experiments with center wavelength at 400 nm were obtained using a hollow-fiber compression technique with a beam-pointing stabilizing system. The output power stability was improved by around 2-times with the beam-pointing stabilizer. A 1-mm-thick cell sample of perylene dissolved in cyclohexane was used to test the pulse using for the pump-probe experiment. Even the high C-H stretching of vibration mode at around 2860 cm(-1), 2916 cm(-1), and 2955 cm(-1) were real-time resolved with vibrational phase information.
