17 February 2010Ultrafast fiber laser technology: status and prospects
Outstanding evolutions in fiber technology made it possible to overcome restrictions due to nonlinear pulse distortions
in the amplification fiber and revealed the full potential of rare-earth-doped fibers as a power-scalable solid-state laser
concept in the short pulse regime. State-of-the-art femtosecond fiber lasers in our labs deliver average power as high as
1 kW and pulse energies above 1mJ in the 1 μm wavelength region. This performance, in particular the significantly
higher repetition rate compared to conventional femtosecond lasers, allows for unique approaches in several application
fields. Beside the fiber designs, the experimental strategies, performance and limitations of these systems we will
discuss selected applications.
