摘要
We have demonstrated an ultrashort-pulse Yb3+-fiber laser and amplifier system that produces >400-nJ pulses at a repetition rate of 62 MHz (>25-W average power). The output pulses were recompressed to a duration of 110 fs with good pulse quality by use of a standard bulk grating-based compressor. (C) 2004 Optical Society of America.
