Abstract

We describe a two-stage Ti:sapphire amplifier laser system that is capable of producing 16-fs pulses of 10-TW peak power at a 10-Hz repetition rate. Thin solid etalons were used to control gain narrowing and gain saturation during amplification. A cylindrical mirror expander was used to permit compensation of the dispersion of the system. An efficiency greater than 90% of the theoretical maximum for conversion of 532-nm pump light to 790-nm radiation is demonstrated.
