Abstract
Many applications such as nonlinear microscopy and strong field optoelectonics require high-energy (> 100 nJ) ultrashort (< 100 fs) pulses above 1.55 µm out of a singlemode fiber. Here, we report on high-energy amplification in tapered Er-doped fiber fabricated by the powder technique. The system based on direct amplification is free from stretcher and compressor units. We generate 90 fs MW-class pulses at 1600 nm by amplification and management of nonlinear effects in the tapered fiber. Despite the output 100 µm core diameter, the emitted beam is near-diffraction limited.
