Descripción del proyecto
Una tecnología innovadora para la caracterización con un solo disparo de pulsos láser ultracortos
La captura del movimiento de los electrones depende de la disponibilidad de ondas de luz ultracortas que contienen tan solo unos pocos ciclos de oscilación de luz. Hoy en día, los sistemas láser ultrarrápidos de última generación son los que ofrecen tales pulsos y, para lograr una alta resolución temporal, además de la duración, es fundamental conocer también la forma temporal exacta de estos pulsos láser. El proyecto FIELDTECH, financiado con fondos europeos, tiene como objetivo desarrollar un dispositivo de diagnóstico por pulsos compacto y fácil de utilizar, que represente una alternativa rentable y robusta a las técnicas actuales basadas en la tecnología de vacío, que resulta cara y compleja. Más allá de la caracterización precisa con un solo disparo de pulsos láser, la tecnología que se desarrollará en este proyecto supone un paso importante hacia la electrónica de petahercios ultrarrápida de próxima generación.
Objetivo
The proposed project is dedicated to bringing technology for next generation characterization of optical fields to a market level. The technology, based on recent innovations at LMU, will facilitate simple optoelectronic devices, for e.g. carrier-envelope-phase (CEP) measurements, enabling the characterization of few-cycle pulses at a single laser shot level. Contemporary CEP-meter techniques, i.e. the f-2f interferometer and Sterero-ATI technique, have limitations, including they do not easily offer extension of single-shot measurements towards increasing repetition rates (beyond 100 kHz), have limited operation wavelengths, or involve a sophisticated apparatus, which is bulky and expensive. Based on our recent innovation, the realization of a simple phase meter that consists of only a few components and can even work in ambient air, we propose to explore bringing this and also its related field-metrology technology to the market to overcome such limitations.
We aim to improve the long-term stability of the device, to enhance the signal sensitivity, and to decrease the temporal response time for high-repetition single-shot CEP detection and retrieval. These include a new design of the device structure, a proper encapsulation of the core device including electromagnetic shielding, the incorporation of fast electronics components, and the development of a user-friendly software. The newly developed device will undergo a series of tests with different ultrafast laser sources both in the near and mid-infrared wavelength range and at repetition rate up to at least 100 kHz. In parallel to the S&T development, we will carry out the ‘go-to-market’ activities, which include securing the IP, standardization and modulation of the product, the analysis of worldwide potential market, discovery of supply and distribution channels, and formulation of sales strategies.
