Multipass spectral broadening and compression around 515 nm are experimentally demonstrated. A nonlinear multipass cell with a bulk medium is used to compress 250-fs pulses down to 38 fs. The same input pulses create a sufficient bandwidth for sub-20-fs pulse generation in a multipass cell with gaseous media. In both cases, the efficiency exceeds 85%. Dispersion management by reduction of the cell size and the thickness of the nonlinear medium allows an efficient generation of ultrashort pulses in the visible range and establishes a pathway for ultraviolet spectral broadening by means of multipass cells.
