摘要：

Ultrafast laser oscillators have become ubiquitous in science and technology. For many years, however, their pulse energy has been limited to the nanojoule regime. Applications requiring more intense pulses relied on complex amplifier systems, which typically operate at low pulse repetition rates of the order of kilohertz. Recently, the pulse energy of femtosecond laser oscillators has greatly increased, such that some of these experiments can now be driven at multimegahertz repetition rates, which opens promising new avenues for many applications. We review the current state of the art of high-energy femtosecond laser oscillators, in particular mode-locked thin-disk lasers, and discuss their potential to drive high-field science experiments at multimegahertz repetition rates.
