Abstract :
Summary form only given. In this work, we present a novel laser pulse compression technique for Ti:sapphire chirped pulse laser amplifiers, based on spectral broadening in a hollow cylindrical quartz fiber filled with noble gases at high pressure, which is suitable for high-energy pulses. Pulse recompression is then achieved using two conventional quartz prism pairs.
