Abstract

Femtosecond pulse manipulation techniques have made it possible to take advantage of the superior energy storage characteristics of solid-state materials in order to produce energetic, and robust high peak power laser systems. In particular, femtosecond kilohertz Ti:Al2O3 amplifier systems have been developed which produce average powers of 2 W or greater.1 This is a significant improvement over previous femtosecond amplifier schemes which produced average powers on the order of 10 mW. In addition to this average power capability, the production of extremely short pulses is possible. To date, pulse widths as short as 55 fs have been produced in this type of system2 with further substantial reductions in pulse width still possible.
