On the pulse quality limitations in ultrashort chirped pulse amplification

Not Accessible

Abstract

Recent progress in the understanding of the physics of femtosecond oscillators has made it possible to produce 10 fs pulses. In order to use these pulses in high field physics experiments they have to be amplified while keeping an extremely good contrast ratio between the peak of the pulse and its wings. We will show that several effects can cause a severe loss in the pulse quality and will present new solutions.
