Abstract
Summary form only given. We have used the model to guide us while upgrading our chriped pulse amplification (CPA) laser system to reduce the compressed pulse duration to -40 fs. It has allowed us to choose an initial design for the stretcher and compressor pair and enabled us to optimize the final system configuration.
