Abstract

The development of the solid-state laser material Cr3+:LiSrAIF6 (LiSAF) offers an important alternative for short-pulse laser applications1. Using the technique of chirped-pulse amplification, we have developed a 100-fs laser system capable of producing pulses with energies in excess of 1 J. The system utilizes compact, large-aperture flashlamp- pumped LiSAF amplifiers. Recompression after amplification yields 125-fsec, transform limited pulses at a repetition rate of one shot every 20.
