Abstract
The present study propose a possible solution consisting to modulate the spectrum before each Ti:Sa amplifier with appropriate spectral filters. By slightly modifying the amplifiers parameters, 150 J and 15 fs pulses could be achieved using appropriate spectral filters. A compensating spectral gain distortion technique has been demonstrated.
