High Energy all fiber picosecond laser

We report on a picosecond laser system that can run from single shot to 50MHz, with energies up to 100μJ. High power picosecond lasers are being used extensively in the industry but their market is presently limited by the complexity and cost of classical solid state laser solutions based on regenerative amplifiers. We report here on a high power picosecond fiber laser that uses only single or double pass amplifiers.
