title: Design of a 10 PW (150  J/15  fs) peak power laser system with Ti:sapphire medium through spectral control.
abstract: We designed a 10  PW (150  J-15  fs) laser system based on the use of titanium-doped sapphire power amplifiers. The solution is to provide an overall compensating spectral gain narrowing and shifting technique for obtaining a controlled output spectrum.
