Abstract
An optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification system delivering pulses with more than peak power is presented. Compression to sub-, and , is realized at the repetition rate. A high-energy fiber chirped-pulse amplification system operating at pulse energy and nearly transform-limited pulses is used to achieve ultrabroadband amplification in two beta-barium borate crystals. Precise pulse shaping is used to compress the pulses to a few percentages of their transform limit. Assuming diffraction limited focusing (), peak intensities as high as can be reached.
