Sub-5ps high energy pulses from a fiber-amplified and compressed passively Q-switched microchip laser
Abstract
Nonlinear compression of Q-switched pulses with high energy at high repetition rate (>500kHz) is obtained from fiber-amplified microchip laser. 70ps pulses are SPM-broadened in fiber-amplifier extracting energies over 103µJ and compressed to 2.7ps.
