Abstract :
We report on two types of dispersive mirrors designed for a 3 kHz Ti:Sa oscillator-amplifier system and Ti:Sa CPO compressors. The mirrors have an average group delay dispersion of -400 fs2 for the 3 kHz Femtopower compact Pro system in the range 730-860 nmand -1300 fs2 for the Ti:Sa CPO (770-820 nm). A hybrid prism-mirror compressor was implemented in the 3kHz, lmJ Femtopower system using 18 highly dispersive mirror reflections.
