Size of focus ~ 2 “lambda cube” regime Wavefront correction Goal: relativistic intensity at 1kHz Peak intensity ~ W/cm 2 Peak intensity ~ W/cm 2 Deformable Mirror Target Low f parabaloid Tight focusing 1 mJ, 5 fs 1 kHz Albert et al., Optics Letters 2000

Hollow fiber compression principle Spectral broadening via SPM in rare gas Guided propagation High damage threshold, low absorption Compression using chirped mirrors standard: 25fs ~ 1mJ< 10fs < mJ Scaling limited by ionization/self-focusing Nisoli et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 68, 2793 (1996)

Solutions Pressure gradients (5m, 5fs) Bohman et al., Opt. Lett. 35, 1887 (2010) High pressures, large setups planar waveguides (8mJ, 11fs) Akturk et al., Opt. Lett. 34, 838 (2005) complex setup, non-uniform beam guided ionization (12fs, 14 mJ) Fourcade Dutin et al., Opt. Lett. 35, 253 (2010) Blue-shifting, high losses

Circular polarization n 2 (CP) = 2/3 n 2 (LP) Less self-focusing Better coupling Into fiber Reduced ionization Experimental conditions

Circular polarization = higher throughput better coupling up to 30% more transmission better coupling up to 30% more transmission

More stable propagation for CP CP = more stable propagation LP CP Spectral stability
