Abstract
The saturation characteristics of pulse amplification in an ytterbium- doped fiber are studied. The highest pulse energy obtained is 12 mu J at a repetition rate of 1 kHz. Even with gain narrowing, the fiber is capable of amplifying the bandwidth of 100-fs pulses at 1 mu m. (C) 19 96 Optical Society of America
