Abstract

We demonstrate generation and measurement of intense deep-ultraviolet light pulses with a duration of ∼2.8 fs (FWHM of the intensity envelope) and a wavelength distribution between 230 and 290 nm. They emerge via direct frequency upconversion of sub-4 fs laser pulses of a carrier wavelength of ~750 nm focused into an Ne-filled, quasistatic gas cell. Dispersion-free, third-order autocorrelation measurements provide access to their temporal intensity profile.
