Abstract
Ultrashort 1.25 TW Fourier-transform limited puises are generated using chirped pulse amplification in a Cr:LiSAF laser system incorporating a regenerative amplifier and two additional double-pass amplifiers. The aperture of the final amplifier (25 mm) can support pulse energies up to the Joule level. Incorporating an additional preamplifier into the system will lead to the generation of 10 TW pulses in the near future.
