Abstract
we demonstrate pulse stretching and compression in a high-repetition-r ate chirped-pulse Ti:sapphire regenerative amplifier, using high-effic iency holographic transmission gratings. A quantitative dispersion mea surement technique is developed to characterize dispersion of the syst em to the third order. After recompression with third-order dispersion compensation, 3.1-mu J 85-fs, nearly transform-limited pulses are obt ained.
