In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, an optical system for amplifying the power of a MIR laser using chirped pulse amplification. In certain embodiments, the optical system can include a MIR seed generator system configured to output an optical seed signal. In certain embodiments, the optical system can include a stretcher in optical communication with the seed generator system to receive the optical seed signal. In certain embodiments, the optical system can include an amplifier assembly in optical communication with the stretcher to receive the stretched seed signal. The amplifier assembly can be configured to comprise of a cryogenically cooled gain medium configured to receive the stretched seed signal and amplify the stretched seed signal to output an amplified optical signal.
An optical system, comprising:
A method for MIR chirped pulse amplification, comprising generating an output signal below about 4.2 micrometers and at or above about 300 hertz in about room temperature open air using a cryogenically cooled chirped pulse amplifier.
