Abstract
We generate ultrabroadband pulses, spanning the wavelength range, from an pumped optical parametric amplifier (OPA) working at degeneracy. We compress the microjoule-level energy pulses to nearly transform-limited duration by an adaptive system employing a deformable mirror. To our knowledge, these are the shortest light pulses generated at .
