Abstract

We present a modelocked femtosecond thin disk laser that generates pulse energies beyond the 10-μJ limit. We discuss the first photoelectron imaging spectroscopy measurements at multi-megahertz repetition rate, which is advantageous due to high signal-to-noise ratio and reduced measurement time. A maximum peak intensity of 6·1013 W/cm2 was achieved at 14 MHz repetition rate.
