Highly efficient parametric conversion of femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser pulses at 1 kHz

Abstract
Pulses with energies as high as 150 μJ and durations as low as 60 fs were generated from 1.1 to 2.6 μm by a traveling-wave parametric converter pumped by femtosecond pulses of a Ti:sapphire laser with chirped-pulse amplification.
