0.09-terawatt pulses with a 31% efficient, kilohertz repetition-rate Ti:sapphire regenerative amplifier.
We present an efficient, ultrafast regenerate amplifier that increases the energy of a laser pulse from 300 pJ to 6 mJ and produces average powers of as much as 9 W in a TEM(00) spatial mode. As an ultrafast amplifier, the system produces 4-mJ pulses with 0.09 TW of peak power.
