The seed pulses were generated by intra-pulse difference frequency mixing of the output of an Yb:KGW regenerative amplifier that had been spectrally broadened by continuum generation using multiple plates. Then, a two-stage optical parametric amplifier was used to obtain output energies of about 100 uJ/pulse for center wavelengths between 2.8 and 3.5 um. Owing to the intense pulse energies, it was possible to compress the multi-cycle pulses down to two-cycle pulses using YAG and Si plates.}, pages = {5280--5283}, title = {Generation of wavelength-tunable few-cycle pulses in the mid-infrared at repetition rates up to 10 kHz}, volume = {46}, year = {2021} }
