High-average power Ti: Sapphire regenerative amplifier

Dispersion Control in a 100-kHz-Repetition-Rate 35-fs Ti : Sapphire Regenerative Amplifier System

This paper presents a 100-kHz femtosecond amplifier system delivering pulses with a duration of 35 fs and an energy of 7 J. The system does not include a stretcher, since the large amount of dispersion accumulated during the amplification process is sufficient to prevent self-focusing. Compensation in approximately all orders is achieved through a combination of a prism compressor, chirped mirr...

Regenerative spectral and pulse shaping of high average power chirped pulse thin-rod Yb:YAG amplifier

Spectral gain narrowing of high-average power, regenerative chirped pulse thin-rod Yb:YAG amplifier was compensated by the regenerative spectral and pulse shaping technique. An average output power of 18 W was achieved at a repetition rate of 100 kHz with an output pulse width of below 1.2 ps. A wide spectral bandwidth of 2.5 nm was also observed. 2009 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (1...

Optical Fiber Pumped High Repetition Rate and High Power Nd:YVO4 Picosecond Regenerative Amplifier

We report a stable optical fiber pumped Nd:YVO4 all solid state regenerative amplifier with all fiber picosecond laser as seed source. 888 nm Yb optical fiber lasers was chosen as pump source to reduce quantum defect for improved thermal performance. At the repetition rate of 99.6 kHz, maximum power of 19.63 W with 36 ps pulse duration were achieved when seeded by a 150 mW picosecond oscillator...
