Abstract :
We report on a 4-stage OPCPA system for high-field applications delivering 10-mJ ~40-fs pulses at 1.5 mum. The system is based on a fusion of femtosecond DPSS Yb technology and a picosecond Nd:YAG pump laser. In a first preliminary filamentation experiment in xenon, we observe spectral broadening of the recompressed multi-mJ 1.5 mum pulses.
