Abstract
Over the past two decades significant progress was made in generation of high peak power ultrashort pulses utilizing the chirped pulse amplification (CPA) technique. Sub-30-fs pulses with more than 12 mJ energies at 1 kHz repetition rate were generated using Ti:sapphire CPA laser systems. We developed a high-energy Ti:sapphire CPA laser system delivering up to 12 mJ pulses with sub-100-fs duration and spectral bandwidth of 13 nm.
