Abstract: We report an all-fibre 1030-nm ultrashort (100 ps with the possibility of compression to 430 fs) chirped pulse laser configuration based on a seed oscillator that includes a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror, and demonstrate amplification of its pulses to an energy of 0.6 μJ, with the possibility of pulse compression to 650 fs.

Keywords: fibre laser, self-phase modulation, SESAM, femtosecond pulses.
