Abstract

The application of a Herriot multiple-pass cell (MPC) filled with neon for spectral broadening of a femtosecond, intense laser field has been studied theoretically. The simulation using 50 mJ, 60 fs laser pulses with a center wavelength of 780 nm has shown that relevant spectral broadening can be obtained after 10 passes of the pulse, yielding a compressed pulse with a width of 4.5 fs and an energy of 25 mJ.
