Diffraction-limited, 10-W, 5-ns, 100-kHz, all-fiber laser at 1.55 μm.

This Letter reports on an all-fiber-integrated master-oscillator, power amplifier system at 1.55 μm producing 5-ns, 100-μJ pulses. These pulses are generated at a 100 kHz repetition rate, corresponding to 10 W of average power.

High-power high-repetition-rate single-mode Er-Yb-doped fiber laser system.

We demonstrate an all-fiber-integrated, high-power chirped-pulse-amplification system operating at 1550 nm. The seed source is a soliton fiber laser with 156 MHz repetition rate. Two-stage single mode amplifier provides an amplification of more than 40 dB without significant spontaneous amplified emission.
