Description
We present an inline mid-infrared source based on intrapulse-difference-frequency-generation and subsequent optical parametric amplification, with pump recycling. Driven by an Yb-doped-fiber amplifier at 1030 nm, at a repetition rate of 250 kHz, the source delivers 1 $\mu$J 73 fs pulses at 8 $\mu$m, corresponding to an unprecedented efficiency of 2%.
