22. The 1-kHz laser system consists of a Ti:Sapphire oscillator pumping a regenerative amplifier. The 800-nm output pumps a pair of optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs). The idler output from OPA1 (1730 nm) was used for the control pulse, whereas the signal (1485 nm) was mixed with residual 800-nm light to produce the 520-nm pump wavelength. The signal beam from OPA2 (1218 nm) was doubled and then doubled again to make the 304.5-nm ultraviolet (UV) probe. The REMPI probe is bandwidth-narrowed by use of long doubling crystals to ensure high selectivity. Telescopes were used to expand the three beams to varying diameters such that the focal-spot size ratios at the interaction region were UV:visible:IR = 1:1.5:2. Careful co-collimation then assured that the IR field was sampled at a uniform intensity.
