    All-fiber high-energy yb-doped fiber amplifier
    (IEEE, 2009) Öktem, Bülent; Kalaycioǧlu, Hamit; İlday, F. Ömer
    We report a robust, all-fiber amplifier seeded by a fiber oscillator. Seed pulses at 1 MHz repetition rate are amplified up to 3 μJ, delivering 1 μJ-energy, 170 fs-long pulses. Duration reduces to 120 fs at 1 μJ amplifier output. These are the highest peak powers from an integrated fiber source. © 2009 IEEE.

    Microjoule-energy, 1 MHz repetition rate pulses from all-fiber-integrated nonlinear chirped-pulse amplifier
    (Optical Society of America, 2010-03-23) Kalaycioglu, H.; Oktem, B.; Şenel, Ç.; Paltani, P. P.; Ilday, F. Ö.
    We demonstrate generation of pulses with up to 4 μJ energy at 1 MHz repetition rate through nonlinear chirped-pulse amplification in an entirely fiber-integrated amplifier, seeded by a fiber oscillator. The peak power and the estimated nonlinear phase shift of the amplified pulses are as much as 57 kW and 22π, respectively. The shortest compressed pulse duration of 140 fs is obtained for 3.1 μJ of uncompressed amplifier output energy at 18 π of nonlinear phase shift. At 4 μJ of energy, the nonlinear phase shift is 22 π and compression leads to 170-fs-long pulses. Numerical simulations are utilized to model the experiments and identify the limitations. Amplification is ultimately limited by the onset of Raman amplification of the longer edge of the spectrum with an uncompressible phase profile.

    Nonlinear chirped-pulse amplification of a soliton-similariton laser to ~1 µJ at 1550 nm
    (Optical Society of America, 2012) İlbey, Emrah; Pavlov, Ihor; Dülgergil, E.; Öktem, Bülent; Yavas, Seydi; Rybak, Andrii; Zhang, Zuxing; İlday, Fatih Ömer
    We demonstrate all-fiber-integrated nonlinear CPA system operating at 1550 nm, seeded by a soliton-similariton laser. Chirped 2-μJ pulses are compressed to 700-fs, 0.5-μJ pulses at 1 MHz. Amplifier output is through a strictly singlemode fiber. © 2012 OSA.
