Abstract

The technique of chirped pulse amplification has successfully been applied to the amplification of sub-50-fs pulses from Ti:sapphire oscillators and energies approaching 125 mJ have been achieved.^1,2 Although these pulses have very high peak power they are useful to solid-state target experiments only if they are free of any prepulse or wings. We describe here a Ti:sapphire amplifier producing 15 TW pulses at 10 Hz, which has been designed to produce pedestal-free pulses. To reduce any prepulse, we designed the amplifier with broad transmission bandwidth, minimum material path length, high gain, and an aberration-free system for stretching and recompressing the pulses.³
