Abstract

Based on the scheme of chirped pulse amplification, a Ti:sapphire laser facility with output power of 0.89 PW has been developed. The compressed pulse width of ~29.0 fs was achieved by minimizing the dispersion introduced by the optical components. The effective suppression of parasitic lasing ensured the high-gain amplification in large aperture amplifiers.
