Abstract We report on the generation of optical pulses with a nearly one octave-spanning spectrum ranging from 1300 nm to 2500 nm at 1 kHz repetition rate, which are based on intra-pulse difference frequency generation (DFG) in β-barium borate crystal (β-BBO) and passively carrier-envelope-phase (CEP) stabilized. The DFG is induced by few-cycle pulses initiated from spectral broadening in multiple thin plates driven by a Ti:sapphire chirped-pulse amplifier. Furthermore, a numerical simulation is developed to estimate the conversion efficiency and output spectrum of the DFG. Our results show that the pulses from the DFG have the potential for seeding intense mid-infrared (MIR) laser generation and amplification to study strong-field physics and attosecond science.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
