ABSTRACT:
Cladding-pumped fibers are used for chirped pulse amplification of ultrashort optical pulses, increasing the average output power by one order of magnitude and substantially decreasing the cost of pump sources. Broad-area multimode diode pumped Er/Yb codoped fiber amplifiers and MOPA pumped high-power Er-doped fiber amplifiers are used to achieve chirped pulse amplification.
