摘要: Minor-dispersion controlled (MDC) Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:sapphire oscillators are now able to produce high-quality sub-l0-fs optical pulses up peak powers of 1 MW. The availability ultra-broadband centered at ≈790 nm from MDC laser systems allows 0.1-TW-scale 20-fs pulse generation a compact 1-kHz-rate amplifier system. high-power can be compressed below 5 fs using novel techniques for self-phase modulation and dispersive chirp compensation. resultant light comprising less than two oscillation cycles within their intensity-FWHM open new possibilities in strong-field physics including the study reversible nonlinear processes solids beyond 1014 W/сm2 intensity level coherent X-ray water window (2.3-4.4 nm) table-top
