Front-end of Petawatt Field Synthesizer (PFS) — •Izhar Ahmad, Antonia Popp, Sergei Trushin, Tie-jun Wang, Zsuzsanna Major, and Stefan Karsch — Max-Planck Institue for Quantum Optics, Garching, Germany

We are pursuing the development of a novel few-cycle ~5fs, phase stabilized light source with a peak power ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 Petawatt. It is based on an ultrabroadband Optical-Parametric-Chirped-Pulse Amplification (OPCPA) technique, synchronously pumped with a high-repetition rate (10Hz) diode pumped Yb:YAG laser operating at ~10 ps pulse duration as a driver.

The progress in the development of front end for this novel source will be presented. It involves seed generation for the pump source for optical synchronization based on soliton self stimulated emission in photonic crystal fibers, pulse compression of Ti:Sapphire amplifier using hybrid pulse compression technique and advancement towards ultrabroad band seed generation for OPCPA.
