Abstract
A 100-kHz mode-locked Ti:sapphire-seeded regenerative amplifier pumpin g an optical parametric amplifier generates femtosecond pulses tunable from 470 to 710 nm. This output was compressed with a pair of prisms to bandwidth-limited pulses of 80- to 40-fs duration and more than 150 nJ of energy. These tunable pulses were then bandwidth expanded throu gh, self-phase modulation in bulk material and further compressed to l ess than 30-fs duration.
