Six-cycle mid-infrared source with 3.8 μJ at 100 kHz

We report on the shortest pulses to date from a mid-IR optical parametric chirped pulse amplification: 67 fs duration with 3.8 μJ energy operating at 3.2 μm. The system is all solid state and diode pumped and operates at 100 kHz with unprecedented power stability of 0.75%rms over 30 min.
