Abstract
A made-locked Ti:sapphire regenerative amplifier system pumped with a single argon ion laser produces mu J energy femtosecond pulses of 800 nm wavelength at up to 300 kHz repetition rate, This output is used to generate tunable femtosecond pulses in the ultraviolet to as short as 240 nn by using a combination of harmonic generation, white-light con tinuum generation and parametric amplification. A variety of technique s to access different parts of the UV spectrum are presented.
