Abstract
We present an efficient, ultrafast regenerate amplifier that increases the energy of a laser pulse from 300 pJ to 6 mJ and produces average powers of as much as 9 W in a TEM90 spatial mode. As an ultrafast amplifier, the syst em produces 4-mJ pulses with 0.09 TW of peak power. (C) 2001 Optical Societ y of America.
