Abstract
The results of recent studies aimed at increasing the energy and peak power of THL-100 hybrid femtosecond laser system in visible range based on photodissociation XeF(C-A) amplifier and Ti:Sa femtosecond complex are presented. Two versions of the laser system operation based on the amplification of positively or negatively chirped pulses in the XeF(C-A) amplifier are analyzed. It is shown that when the positive-chirped pulse is amplified, the radiation energy maximum is achieved, and when the negative-chirped pulse is amplified, the power maximum is achieved.
