Speaker: Damian Schimpf, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany -- Faculty Host: Siddharth Ramachandran -- Ultrafast lasers have become ubiquitous in science and technology. For the past decades, however, their average powers have been restricted to a few Watts. Lately, optical fiber technology has enabled substantial increases in average powers up to the kW level. This new generation of ultrafast lasers opens up promising new directions for many applications. The developments in femtosecond fiber amplifiers delivering high energies at high average powers are presented. Their potential for driving high-field science experiments at high repetition rates is discussed. |
