In this paper, we summarize the fundamental properties and review the latest developments
in high power fiber lasers. The review is focused primarily on the most common fiber laser …

The rise in output power from rare-earth-doped fiber sources over the past decade, via the
use of cladding-pumped fiber architectures, has been dramatic, leading to a range of fiber …

In the 2015 review paper 'Petawatt Class Lasers Worldwide'a comprehensive overview of
the current status of high-power facilities of was presented. This was largely based on facility …

We report on a laser system based on thin-disk technology and chirped pulse amplification,
providing output pulse energies of 200 mJ at a 5 kHz repetition rate. The amplifier contains a …

We report on the observation and experimental characterization of a threshold-like onset of
mode instabilities, ie an apparently random relative power content change of different …

In this Letter we report on the generation of 830 W compressed average power from a
femtosecond fiber chirped pulse amplification (CPA) system. In the high-power operation we …

Rare earth-doped fibres are a diode-pumped, solid-state laser architecture that is highly
scalable in average power. The performance of pulsed fibre laser systems is restricted due …

In this paper, a review of fiber laser technology as relevant for applications in ultrafast optics
is given. We discuss core enabling fiber technologies, such as fiber amplifiers, all-fiber …

We report on the experimental demonstration of a fiber chirped-pulse amplification system
capable of generating nearly transform-limited sub 500 fs pulses with 2.2 mJ pulse energy at …

Ultrafast fiber lasers have gained rapid advances in last decades for their intrinsic merits
such as potential of all-fiber format, excellent beam quality, superior power scalability, and …
