Abstract: 
Powerful techniques for spectral broadening and ultrabroadband dispersion control, which allow the compression of high-energy femtosecond pulses to a duration of a few optical cycles, are presented. Spectral broadening by propagation along hollow-core fused silica fiber filled with atomic and molecular gases is studied under two excitation regimes with high-energy input pulses of 140 fs and 20 fs duration respectively. Conditions for optimum pulse compression are outlined considering the role of self-phase modulation and gas dispersion in the two regimes. With 20 fs input pulses and under optimum compression conditions we demonstrate a pulse shortening down to 4.5 fs with output energy up to 70 μJ using a high-throughput prism-chirped-mirror delay line. These pulses are the shortest generated to date at multigigawatt peak power.
