Abstract
We demonstrate a large energy output and a wider output spectral bandwidth from Nd:glass-based regenerative amplifiers. The maximum energy extracted from the regenerative amplifier is with an overall gain of . The maximum output bandwidth achieved is FWHM when the input pulse spectral bandwidth is FWHM. This was made possible by a new cavity optimization technique.
