Popis: Ultrafast dynamics experiments in physics, chemistry and biology, in condensed matter or gas phase require different types of lasers. We present various OPCPAs as a powerful toolbox to deliver femtosecond pulses from the XUV to THz spectral region. A synchronized pump-probe laser has been realized, generating visible and near-IR pump pulses (350-1300 nm) and UV pulses (250 - 350 nm) operating at 4 MHz. Furthermore, a 1.55 μm wavelength OPCPA has been demonstrated for efficient THz-generation. For XUV generation in the water window, an OPCPA is presented, delivering millijoule-level, femtosecond pulses from 1.7 - 2.2 μm with up to 100 W average power.
