Abstract

A fiber chirped-pulse amplification system with pulse energy as high as 105 μJ is achieved at 200-kHz repetition rate using the rod-type photonic crystal fiber. The whole system’s nonlinearity accumulated in the fiber amplification is effectively suppressed, and the compressed pulse duration of 808 fs is obtained. A 500-kHz high-repetition rate KTiOPO4 Pockels cell is also applied to make the ultrafast laser pulse selection for generating pulse trains with controllable pulse number and pulse splitting without changing the pulse energy. The demonstrated pulse selection and splitting method are useful for processing of different materials and parallel processing. The pulse selection efficiency of the Pockels cell is as high as 96%.
