Abstract
Oscillators generating tens up to hundreds of μJ femtosecond pulses at the MHz repetition rate [1] nowadays allow experiments such as direct gas ionization [2,3], where the level of intensity reaches and exceeds 1014 W/cm2. One can expect soon the pump-probe experiments with short electron pulses and direct high-harmonic generation in gases, parametric mixing of the femtosecond pulses from different oscillators, coherent enhancement of the femtosecond pulses in an empty cavity [4] etc. All these experiments will benefit from low pulse timing jitter.
