Neodymium Doped Active Medium Based High Power High Energy 10-20ps Pulse Amplification System Using Chirped Pulse Amplification Technique

We demonstrate a simple and efficient neodymium doped vanadate/YAG amplifier seeded by modulated fiber laser operating at 1kHz repetition rate producing 16ps pulses of 100mJ output energy constructed as a pump laser for OPCPA system.
