This article demonstrates a proof-of-concept system capable of producing Fourier-transform limited ns-pulses tunable over a wide spectral range. By combining the large tuning range of the Ti:saphire ...

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 ...
