Abstract
Linearly chirped, subnanosecond optical pulses, emitted at an arbitrar y repetition rate by a fast-tuned monolithic diode laser, were compres sed down to 600 fs by group-velocity dispersion in a standard optical fiber. Subsequent amplification and nonlinear compression in an erbium -doped fiber amplifier produced pulses with the energy of up to 2 nJ a nd the duration down to 230 fs.
