Thin-disk laser oscillators can nowadays reach few tens of femtosecond pulses at gigawatt-level intracavity powers and megahertz-repetition rates becoming increasingly more powerful sources for intra-oscillator high harmonic generation (HHG). Currently, we can generate high harmonics in neon reaching photon energies of 70 eV, which we expect to increase toward 100 eV in the near future. In parallel, the achievable average and peak output powers of these oscillators in the range of 100 W and 100 MW, respectively, make these sources very promising to drive HHG in single-pass configuration after nonlinear pulse compression. Starting from transform-limited 30 to 50-fs soliton output soliton pulses of TDL oscillators, we will likely see these lasers approaching a single-cycle regime becoming highly attractive sources for attosecond science.
