Terawatt Post compression of high energy fs pulses using ionization: A way to overcome the conventional limitation in energy of few optical cycle pulses
By using optical-field-ionization of helium we postcompress 50 fs pulses to 8 fs with a pulse energy of 8,7 mJ. Hence few cycle pulses were obtained with TW peak power and a good shot-to-shot stability.
