Abstract

We demonstrate the performance of a novel multilayer dielectric reflective thin-film attenuator capable of reshaping the super-octave spectrum of near-single-cycle visible laser pulses without deteriorating the phase properties of the reflected light. These novel broadband attenuating mirrors reshape in a virtually dispersion-free manner the incident spectrum such that the carrier wavelength of the reflected pulses shifts from 700nm (Eγ=1.77eV) to 540nm (Eγ=2.25eV) or beyond while maintaining their initial near-single-cycle pulse duration. This constitutes a viable approach to convert a number of established few-cycle ultrafast laser systems into sources with a selectable excitation wavelength to meet the requirements of single-color/multicolor high temporal resolution spectroscopic experiments.
