We demonstrate amplification and compression of 110-nm broad spectra in a spatially dispersed amplifier for what is believed to be the first time and generate 14.8-fs pulses with 450 microJ of energy at a repetition rate of 1 kHz. The amplifier concept is scalable in energy and allows for spectral shaping, which was demonstrated and compared with numerical simulations and showed excellent agreement.

We generated a nearly isolated high harmonic in several-centimeter long capillaries filled with argon and studied the dependence of the selectivity of high harmonic generation on the pressure and gas species.

Self-compression of a CEO phase-locked 43 fs, 0.84 mJ pulse during filamentation leads to a CFO-phase locked 5.7-fs, 0.38-mJ pulse with an excellent spatial mode. The obtained pulse bandwidth exceeds 600 THz theoretically 1.8-fs pulses.

Selective high-order harmonic generation by filamentation of an intense laser pulse in various gases is demonstrated and depending on gas choice and pressure, wavelength-dependent enhancement and extinction of specific harmonics is observed.

Frequency-sheared and time-separated high harmonics were produced without spatial separation in the target gas by controlling the time-frequency properties of the driving field. Simulations show good agreement within the strong-field approximation.

We present a first experiment on attosecond pulse train (APT) assisted high-order harmonic generation, where the APT triggers the release of the electron into the continuum, which leads to an enhancement of harmonic yield.

Intense 5.7-fs pulses are generated through twofold filamentation in argon. Beyond beam quality and fluctuation measurements the system reliability is verified by scans of the initial laser chirp and gas pressures in the interaction chambers

Frequency-sheared, time-delayed XUV pulses were produced using high harmonic generation by shaping the time-frequency properties of the generating electric field. A simulation confirmed the direct link between generating field and harmonic properties.

Filamentation of intense laser pulses in various gases is demonstrated to generate selectively high-order harmonics. Wavelength-dependent enhancement and extinction of specific harmonics is controlled by gas choice and variation of gas pressure.

A novel technique for the generation of intense few-cycle pulses is presented. Based on filamentation an intense CEO-stabilized 43-fs laser pulse yields a supercontinuum, supporting 1.8 fs pulses with a spectral range covering more than 600 THz. Chirped-mirror compression yields 5.7-fs pulses with 0.38 mJ energy in an excellent mode, with the CEO phase-lock being preserved.
