摘要
We report a large-core, Yb-doped photonic crystal fiber amplifier generating diffraction-limited (M-2 = 1.04), similar to 0.45 ns, similar to 8 GHz linewidth pulses with energies of 540 mu J, peak power in excess of 1.1 MW, and average power of similar to 7.2 W at a repetition rate of 13.4 kHz. The pulse peak spectral brightness exceeds 10 kW/(sr Hz cm(2)) and is the highest generated by a fiber source, to our knowledge. (c) 2005 Optical Society of America.
