Abstract
We report a simple and robust Ti:sapphire regenerative amplifier witho ut prepulse stretching. Pulse stretching by positive group-velocity di spersion and negative third-order dispersion are provided by highly di spersive flint glass prisms inside the regenerative amplifier cavity. Using a single-grating compressor, we obtain transform-limited 60-fs G aussian pulses at up to a 5-kHz repetition rate with energy of 50 mu J /pulse.
