Yb-based femtosecond oscillators for high-power amplification

Motivated by the industrial requirement for multi-100-W sub-ps pulses, this thesis describes the development of a high-average-power master-oscillator power-amplifier (MOPA) based on seeding an Yb:YAG planar waveguide amplifier using an Yb-based modelocked oscillator operating at 1030 nm. The scope...
