111kW (0.5mJ) pulse amplification at 1.5µm using a gated cascade of three erbium-doped fibre amplifiers

The generation of high peak power pulses by amplification of the output from a distributed feedback diode laser is demonstrated using a cascade of three erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) separated by an acousto-optic gate. The optimized amplifier chain consisted of two high efficiency single-mod...
