Efficient generation of relativistic near-single-cycle mid-infrared pulses in plasmas

Intense few-cycle optical pulses in the mid-infrared region are of great importance yet difficult to obtain with normal optical materials and techniques. To deal with this challenge, scientists in China and the UK proposed a scheme by use of plasma as a nonlinear optical medium, which can efficiently generate relativistic multi-millijoule near-single-cycle mid-infrared pulses at ~5 microns. This technique can be realized with available terawatt-class kHz lasers, bringing new opportunities in high-field and ultrafast science.
