We demonstrate an octave-spanning Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser with double-chirped mirrors(DCMs),BaF_(2) wedges and plate,which generates laser pulses in the spectrum range from 600 nm to 1200 nm at-45 dB below the maximum and the duration of 8.5 fs at the repetition rate of 80 MHz.The average output power is 100 mW under 5 W pump power.By carefully adjusting the insertion of BaF_(2) wedges and the optimization position of Ti:sapphire crystal in the cavity,we can obtain the smooth swings in the interferometric autocorrelation trace due to good third-order dispersion compensation.
