Abstract

We describe the design and operation of a 2-stage multi-pass Ti: sapphire amplifier laser system, which is optimised for a broad transmission bandwidth and incorporates a novel reflective spherical mirror pulse-stretcher. Output energies of 180 mJ after compression, and amplified bandwidths up to 30 nm are observed.
