Abstract
Generation of sub-20-fs UV pulses with more than energy at is reported. First, the UV pulses are produced by successive second-harmonic and third-harmonic (TH) generation of pulses of a Ti:sapphire laser amplifier. The spectral broadening of TH pulses is realized in a filament, generated in argon. The produced pulses are compressed in a simple double-pass prism-pair compressor. Starting from pulses, we achieve a fivefold pulse shortening.
