Abstract

This chapter of the dissertation will discuss the average and peak power scalability of the achievements described in Chap. 2, i.e. few-cycle pulse generation and CEP stabilization. In the thesis’ introduction, this has been proclaimed as the general goal of current femtosecond laser development. However, there are often application dependent preferences in scaling either pulse energy or repetition rate, rather than both. A few examples shall be sketched to enable a more specific discussion of the results presented in the ensuing sections.
