We have performed chirped-pulse regenerative amplification at 999 nm and 1024 nm wavelengths with cryogenically-cooled Yb:LuLiF crystal. High-energy amplified pulses with energies of 6 mJ and 8.5 mJ were obtained at 999 nm and 1024nm wavelengths, respectively. In the regen durations of output pulses were compressed to 13 ps and 27 ps, respectively by gain-narrrwoing, so these pulses are available as pump sources for nonlinear effects without additional pulse compression devices. Simultaneous two-color lasing was also performed in this study, which is available for differential frequency generation in THz region.

We report on a high-contrast, high-intensity Ti:sapphire laser system using an optical parametric chirped-pulse (OPCPA) pre-amplifier. By injecting cleaned microjoule seed pulses into the OPCPA, a temporal contrast greater than 10 within picosecond times before the main femtosecond pulse is demonstrated with an output pulse energy of 1.7 J and a pulse duration of 30 fs, corresponding to a peak power of 60 TW at a 10 Hz repetition rate. This system uses a cryogenically-cooled Ti:sapphire final amplifier and generates focused peak intensities in excess of 10W/cm.
