Abstract
We report on the rare-earth-doped fiber-based generation of nearly transform-limited pulses based on self-phase-modulation-induced spectral compression. An ytterbium-doped low nonlinearity photonic crystal fiber is used as a gain medium. An average power of as much as at a repetition rate of , corresponding to a peak power as high as , was obtained. Furthermore, efficient second-harmonic generation by application of this high-power laser source is discussed.
