Abstract

In this paper, the author demonstrate a drastically simplified seeding/synchronization approach based on an environmentally stable muJ-energy 200-fs, 100-kHz Yb-doped fiber amplifier (YDFA). It generates a white light continuum in bulk sapphire, pumps a distributed fiber grating optical parametric amplifier (DFG OPA) and provides an optical seed compatible with most Nd and Yb ~1mum pump pulse amplifiers.
