RESUMO
A gas-filled multipass-cell-based post-compression of 515 nm wavelength second-harmonic pulses of an Yb:fiber laser from 240 fs to 15.7 fs is presented. The system delivers 0.44 mJ of pulse energy, 22.4 W of average power at 50.8 kHz with an overall efficiency of more than 40%. These results display the capabilities of multipass-cell-based post-compression schemes to move from the well-established near infrared spectral region to the undeveloped visible regime, allowing for high efficiencies in conjunction with energetic ultrashort pulses at high repetition rates. The unique combination of parameters in the green spectral range offers an immense potential for future developments of high photon flux higher-order harmonic sources.
