Stretcher-free high energy nonlinear amplification of femtosecond pulses in rod-type fibers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We report on the study of direct amplification of femtosecond pulses in an 80μm core diameter microstructured Yb-doped rod-type fiber amplifier in the nonlinear regime. The system includes a compact single grating compressor for the compensation of the small dispersion in the amplifier. With a 1250linemm (l/mm) grating-based compressor, pulses as short as 49fs with 870nJ pulse energy and 12MW peak power are obtained. Alternatively, the use of a 1740lmm grating allows the production of higher quality pulses of 70fs, 1.25μJ pulse energy, and 16MW peak power.
