To accomplish this, a versatile post-compression platform was developed, where the 100 fs near infrared pulses were post-compressed to the sub-two-cycle regime in a hybrid, three-stage configuration. After each stage, the duration of the compressed pulse was measured with the d-scan, TIPTOE and SRSI techniques and the retrieved temporal intensity profiles, spectrum and spectral phases were compared. Spectral homogeneity was also measured with an imaging spectrometer to understand the input coupling conditions of the temporal measurements. Our findings suggest that the different devices give similar results in terms of temporal intensity profile, however they are extremely sensitive to alignment and to beam quality, especially in the case of the shortest pulses. We address specific steps of measurement procedures, which paves the way towards the standardization of pulse characterization in the near future.}, year = {2024}, pages = {15710-15722}, orcid-numbers = {Pajer, Viktor/0000-0003-2770-510X; Bohus, János/0000-0003-1749-4142; Malakzadeh Fard Khangheshlaghi, Abdollah/0000-0003-4864-2697; Varjú, Katalin/0000-0001-6577-7417; Szabó, Gábor/0000-0001-6756-4677} } @{MTMT:34859572, title = {Recent Progress of ELI-ALPS SYLOS Systems}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34859572}, author = {Csontos, János and Tóth, Szabolcs and Stanislauskas, T. and Balciunas, I. and Adamonis, J. and Lengvinas, D. and Tóth, László Tamás and Somoskői, Tamás and Prasannan Geetha, Prabhash and Nagymihály, Roland Sándor and Lopez-Martens, Rodrigo and Szabó, Gábor and Varjú, Katalin and Börzsönyi, Ádám}, booktitle = {Laser Congress 2023 (ASSL, LAC)}, doi = {10.1364/ASSL.2023.AW5A.2}, unique-id = {34859572}, abstract = {The SYLOS 1kHz OPCPA systems are the main drivers for attosecond and particle secondary sources at ELI-ALPS.

These modifications on the system were done based on the feedback from the experimental end-stations during the last 3 years. First, the long virtual propagation of the super-Gaussian output beam reduced by modifying the imaging telescope after the amplification stages, which significantly improved the beam profile hindered by the propagation-related diffraction pattern. The optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) stages were equipped with new nonlinear crystals which enabled to reach 42 mJ output energy with <8 fs pulse duration, which is 10 mJ more than the previous configuration. To increase the high-harmonic generation (HHG) efficiency a spatial filter was installed in the laser system which provides a nearly Gaussian beam profile at the output with 80% transmission. The spatial filter is based on a glass cone and is operated under vacuum. Currently, >20 mJ, <8 fs CEP-stable pulses are provided at the user stations after the beam transport system. © 2023 SPIE.}, keywords = {ULTRASHORT PULSES; Nonlinear optics; Parametric amplification; Parametric amplification; High harmonic generation; Harmonic generation; Gaussian beams; Laser systems; Laser optics; Spatial filters; Optical parametric amplifiers; high-harmonic generation; Beamforming; OPCPA; spatial filter; Super-Gaussian; Optical parametric chirped pulses amplification; TW-level; TW-level; End stations; Gaussian output; Recent status}, year = {2023}, orcid-numbers = {Csontos, János/0000-0003-2785-536X; Tóth, Szabolcs/0000-0002-8516-3962; Somoskői, Tamás/0000-0003-1696-4085; Prasannan Geetha, Prabhash/0000-0003-4051-368X; Lopez-Martens, Rodrigo/0000-0001-6788-7791} }
