title: Generation of 0.1-TW 5-fs optical pulses at a 1-kHz repetition rate.
abstract: A compact all-solid-state femtosecond Ti:sapphire oscillator¿amplifier system using no grating-based pulse stretcher produces 20-fs, 1.5-mJ pulses at a 1-kHz repetition rate. The pulses are subsequently compressed in a hollow-fiber chirped-mirror compressor. The system delivers bandwidth-limited 5-fs, 0.5-mJ pulses at 780 nm in a diffraction-limited beam.
