Abstract :
The authors report on a single-pass amplifier for broadband Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser pulses. The authors observe a gain of up ~4 for 100fs pulses and 2.6 for ~7fs pulses. The authors also report on the measurement of phase jitter added by the amplifier onto the frequency comb due to the amplification process [the amplifier project is in collaboration with A. Ozawa, W. Schneider, Th. Udem and T.W. Hansen].
