Abstract
The concept of spectral compression induced by self phase modulation is used to generate transform-limited 10ps pulses in a rare-earth-doped low nonlinearity fibre amplifier. The seed source of the amplifier stage is a high power, Yb3+:KGW bulk oscillator which delivers 500 fs transform-limited pulses at 10MHz repetition rate. After a reduction of the repetition rate down to 3MHz, the femtosecond pulses are negatively chirped by transmission gratings in a compressor arrangement. The resulting 10ps pulses are further seeded into the power amplifier and up to 31W output power is obtained while the spectral width is reduced to less than 50 0pm thanks to the effect of self phase modulation.The concept of spectral compression induced by self phase modulation is used to generate transform-limited 10ps pulses in a rare-earth-doped low nonlinearity fibre amplifier.
