Abstract
We demonstrate a high repetition rate, high energy chirped pulse amplification (CPA) system based on single crystal fiber (SCF) amplifier. With home-made all-fiber laser as the seed laser and Yb:YAG rod, SCF as the amplification gain medium, an output power of 61.8 W at 200 kHz repetition rate has been obtained. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest power based on SCF at hundreds of kHz repetition rate. The measured M2 values are approximately 1.241 in the horizontal and 1.186 in the vertical direction. The spectrum width is 3.8 nm, which support Fourier transform-limited pulse duration of 411 fs. An average power of 41.8 W with pulse duration of 1.5 ps has been obtained after the chirped volume Bragg grating (CVBG) compressor, which will be compressed to hundreds of fs with accurate chirp compensation.
