Abstract
Few-cycle mid-infrared lasers are highly demanded for a variety of practical applications. NP Photonics and University of Arizona propose to develop a wavelength tunable and power-scalable optical parametric laser system at 8-12 micron capable of producing collimated few-cycle pulses with pulse energy>100 microJoule. In this phase I program, we will design the whole laser system and do a feasibility study for achieving high energy few-cycle pulses at 8-12 um by modeling and laser experiment. A fully function and compact few-cycle laser prototype will be demonstrated in phase II.
