Abstract
We have developed a beam stabilization system for high-power femtosecond lasers operating at a repetition rate of . The beam pointing at a hollow fiber input was stabilized to within rms and the fluctuations of the broadened spectra and power were significantly improved. This technique enables us to increase the input power to a hollow fiber for intense few-cycle pulse generation.
