A novel procedure to produce transform-limited optical pulses with high peak power using supercontinuum generation in an optical fiber has been developed. These pulses have been created using a mode-locked Ti:Sapphire oscillator to generate 18 fs pulses at 795.3 nm with energy of 4 nJ and bandwidth of 46 nm. A high power chirped pulse amplification was used to produce femtosecond pulses of 2.6 W at 32 fs for wavelength 800 nm. To achieve extreme pulse compression in the few-cycle regime, the 32 fs pulses have been injected through a hollow-fiber filled with neon gas to generate supercontinuum pulses then temporally compressor by multilayer-chirped mirrors.
