摘要：
A multipass optical parametric amplifier is pumped by a 250-kHz microjoule-level Ti-sapphire regenerative amplifier system. Tuning each pass of the amplifier to provide gain for slightly different spectral regions of a white-Light continuum source produces broadband pulses that may be compressed to less than 30 fs.
