Abstract :
A diode-pumped ytterbium doped INNOSLAB fs-amplifier with 400 W output power was realized. The pulse duration of the output pulses was almost transform limited 682 fs for Yb:YAG at a pulse repetition rate of 76 MHz. This was achieved at room temperature without the use of any stretcher or compressor setup.
