Abstract

We demonstrate cryogenic Ti:sapphire single-pass amplification of sub-7 fs laser pulses with 80 MHz repetition rate. We amplify the output of a broadband Ti:sapphire oscillator by more than a factor of two, re-compress the pulses down to sub-7 fs, and show that the rms carrier-envelope phase jitter stays below 70 as after amplification. The amplified output exceeds 2 MW of peak power and 1W of average power. In addition, we demonstrate amplification of ∼200fs, 75MHz oscillator pulses up to 1.6 W with a gain of four. This work opens a new way to explore phase sensitive and highly nonlinear phenomena at the full oscillator repetition rate. As a first example, we demonstrate white light generation in a bulk crystal at the full oscillator repetition rate. © IOP Publishing Ltd and Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft.
