Abstract

The experiment of the generation and amplification of femetosecond Ti:sapphire laser pulse at high repetition rate is reported. The laser pulses with minimum pulsewidth 15 fs, maximum spectrum width of 80 nm, average power of 200 mW are generated from a home-built self-mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser. As a seed pulse which is selected from the oscillator, the laser pulse is further amplified by using chirped-pulse-amplification technology in a Ti:sapphire amplifier from which a kind of pulses with single-pulse-energy of 100 μJ, pulsewidth after compressing of 50 fs at 5 kHz repetition rate are produced. The system design and experimental results are discussed.
