Abstract

An optical amplifier scheme for ultrashort 1030-nm pulses is proposed based on an Yb : YAG crystal with axial pumping by a transverse single-mode laser at a wavelength of 920 nm. A small-signal gain up to 40 dB per pass with a high output beam quality is demonstrated. The maximum average power is 14 W with a slope efficiency exceeding 50 %.
