We generated laser power of 1.16PW from a Ti:sapphire laser facility by using a combined scheme of doubled chirped-pulse amplifier (DCPA) and non-collinear optical parametrical amplifier (NOPA). Laser ...

We describe a design and a construction of a TW-class 12-fs Ti:sapphire chirped-pulse amplification system. We developed a broadband pulse stretcher, a broadband gain-narrowing compensator, broadband ...
