Abstract :
The authors have constructed a multistage Ti:Al2O3 master-oscillator/power-amplifier system which generates 115-ns, 0.38-J pulses at 800 nm. The system is tunable from 760 to 825 nm and has a repetition rate of 10 Hz. Measurements of the output pulse demonstrate near-diffraction-limited performance and a Fourier-transform-limited bandwidth of ~4 MHz
