Abstract
Regenerative pulse shaping is used to alleviate gain narrowing during ultrashort-pulse amplification. Amplification bandwidths of similar to 100 nm, or nearly three times wider than the traditional gain-narrowi ng limit, are produced with a modified Ti:sapphire regenerative amplif ier. This novel regenerative amplifier has been used to amplify pulses to the 5-mJ level with a bandwidth sufficient to support similar to 1 0-fs pulses. (C) 1996 Optical Society of America
