摘要：

Multi-energy and chaotic pulse energy output from a continuously pumped regenerative amplifier is observed for dumping rates around the inverse upper state lifetime of the gain medium. The relevant regimes of operation are analyzed numerically and experimentally in a diode-pumped Yb:glass regenerative amplifier. The boundaries between stable and unstable pulsing are identified and stability criteria in dependence on the amplifier gate length and pump power are discussed. (C) 2004 Optical Society of America.
