Item Open Access 30-fs 1.6 mJ pulses at a kHz repetition rate from a single stage DPSS Yb amplifier(OSA, 2010) Andriukaitis, G.; Kartashov, D.; Pugzlys, A.; Lorenc, D.; Baltuska, A.; Giniunas, L.; Danielius, R.; İlday, Ömer Fatih200-fs 2.5-mJ pulses from a cw-diode-pumped Yb:CaF2 MOPA are spectrally broadened in Ar and recompressed to 30 fs at 980 nm using a prism pair. Multi-millijoule 12-fs pulses are feasible upon higher-order spectral phase correction.Item Open Access Microjoule pulse energies at 1 MHz repetition rate from an all-fiber nonlinear chirped-pulse amplifier(Optical Society of America, 2010) Kalaycioǧlu H.; Oktem, B.; Ömer Ilday F.We report a 1-MHz robust, all-fiber amplifier-oscillator system. Amplified pulses of 3 μJ are externally compressed to 140 fs. The highest peak power from an integrated fiber source, up to 50 kW, is obtained. © 2010 Optical Society of America.Item Open Access 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.Item Open Access 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 ÖmerWe 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.
