Summary

A three-stage, 1-kHz amplifier system has been developed delivering sub-10-fs pulses with a peak power of 0.3 TW. Passive and active spectral amplitude and phase control allow preserving a bandwidth of 120 nm (FWHM) up to multi-millijoule energy levels and temporal compression of the broadband pulses close to their Fourier limit. Future improvements to increase the peak power beyond 1 TW will be discussed.
