Abstract
In conclusion, we have demonstrated a simple and reliable Ti:sapphire laser amplifier capable of generating pulses of unprecedented short duration. Our results confirm the fact that third-order dispersion is the primary factor limiting pulse duration in these lasers. Also, chirped-pulse amplification designs capable of propagating sub-2O fs pulses have been tested
