We demonstrate the 6.5-fold compression of 1-mJ 200-fs pulses by spectral broadening in a gas-filled multi-pass cell and subsequent chirped-mirror compression. A coherently-combined fiber laser source is compressed with an overall power efficiency of ~95% resulting in a record compressed power of >950 W. In a second experiment, the same overall spectral broadening is obtained with the nonlinear phase per medium pass enhanced to well beyond 3 rad while still retaining all the favorable properties of the multi-pass cell configuration. This may enable an even higher power efficiency beyond 95%.
