Cr:LiSrAlF(6) regenerative amplifier.
The design and performance of a flash-lamp-pumped regenerative amplifier that utilizes the new laser material Cr:LiSrAlF(6) is described. The device can be used for tunable and/or short-pulse amplification to the 10-mJ level at a repetition rate of 10 Hz. Using chirped-pulse amplification, we have achieved 8-mJ pulses with a duration of 150 fs.
