Abstract
We propose and experimentally demonstrate an efficient spectral compression technique for optical laser fields. By exploiting the Raman effect of molecular gas confined in a hollow-core capillary we achieve spectral compression of millijoule-level femtosecond laser pulses, attaining a compression ratio up to 14 times with near 50% efficiency. This method also features precise and continuous tunability of the central wavelength. Furthermore, we directly extend this scheme to an ambient air medium, realizing a simple high-energy femtosecond laser spectral tuning apparatus. The developed technique has promising applications in advanced manufacturing, bio-imaging, and material spectroscopic studies.
