Abstract

The amplification of femtosecond dye laser pulses up to the 3.5-mJ level in an alexandrite regenerative amplifier is discussed. An expansion/compression system using diffraction gratings allows chirped amplification techniques to be used to produce peak powers upwards of 1 GW. Limitations in the chirped pulse amplification of ultrashort pulses due to intracavity dispersive elements are discussed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
