| contents | High-energy infrared lasers have enabled the generation of strong field phenomena, and among such phenomena, high-order harmonic generation (HHG) from gases has enabled attosecond-scale observations in atoms or molecules. Lasers with longer wavelengths and shorter pulse widths are advantageous for generating higher photon energy and shorter attosecond pulses via HHG. Thus, the development of ultrashort mid-infrared (MIR) lasers has progressed. This paper reviews research on developing high-energy MIR lasers using the dual-chirped optical parametric amplification (DC-OPA) method. We developed TW-class multi-cycle lasers in the MIR region, which was previously difficult. The advanced DC-OPA method, an extension of the conventional DC-OPA method, enables one-octave amplification of the wavelength, and a TW-class single-cycle laser was developed. These lasers were utilized for HHG, enabling single-shot absorption spectroscopy, and one-octave supercontinuum soft X-ray generation for single-cycle isolated attosecond pulse. We also show the development of multi-TW sub-cycle DC-OPA pumped by Ti:sapphire laser and high average power MIR single-cycle DC-OPA using thin-disk laser technology. |
