Abstract
Sub-10 fs pulse generation via external compression as well as direct generation from Kerr-Lens mode-locked laser oscillators relies on chirped minors for dispersion compensation. Pulses shorter than two optical cycles have been generated directly from the laser using doublechirped mirrors (DCMs) for precise control of the intracavity group delay dispersion (GDD) over almost 400 nm bandwidth [1,2]. To approach the generation of single cycle pulses laser optics with a bandwidth of more than one octave are necessary.
