We report a theoretical analysis of the spectrum broadening of intense chirped femtosecond pulses in media with cubic nonlinearity. Subsequent temporal compression of such pulses using a quadratic spectral phase corrector is investigated. Pulse compression from 57 fs to 22 fs is demonstrated experimentally in a petawatt laser beam.
