Carrier-envelope-phase stabilization via dual wavelength pumping

Opt Lett. 2016 Apr 15;41(8):1853-6. doi: 10.1364/OL.41.001853.

Abstract

A power-scalable concept for carrier-envelope-phase stabilization is presented. It takes advantage of simultaneous pumping of the zero- and first-phonon absorption line of Yb:YAG at 969 and 940 nm. The concept was implemented to lock the carrier-envelope-offset frequency of a 45 W average power Kerr-lens mode-locked thin-disk oscillator. The lock performance is compared to previous experiments where carrier-envelope-stabilization was realized by means of cavity loss modulation.
