A feedback controlled pulse shaping device has been implemented and applied for compression of high-power, broadband Ti:Sapphire laser pulses to their transform limit. The laser system consists of a mirror dispersion controlled oscillator and a multipass amplifier with a pairing double prism compressor providing pulses with a duration of 30 fs and an energy of up to 1.2 mJ per pulse at 1 kHz repetition rate. These phase distorted output pulses are phase modulated by an all reflective pulse shaping unit equipped with a high resolution spatial light modulator (SLM) resulting in 22 fs transform limited pulses. To achieve the shortest possible pulse an evolutionary algorithm controls the pulse shaper utilizing a two-photon signal as feedback. Detailed investigations of algorithm parameters and their effect on convergence behaviour have been performed and are comparable with the experimental findings.
