Generation of sub-20 fs Tunable Visible Pulses from a 100 kHz NOPA For Measuring Ultrafast Heterogeneous Electron Transfer

  • Chapter
Ultrafast Optics IV

Part of the book series: Springer Series in OPTICAL SCIENCES ((SSOS,volume 95))

Abstract

We describe the design and performance of a noncollinear optical parametric amplifier that can be pumped by the output of a commercial 100 kHz Ti:sapphire regenerative amplifier. The output of the NOPA is compressed to sub-20 fs length and tunable from 460 nm to beyond 1 pm. The maximum pulse energy is 750 nJ. The system is used to measure photoinduced electron transfer in a perylene/TiO2 system with unprecedented temporal resolution.
