Abstract

modulator, or an electro-absorption modulator. Difficulties related to free-space alignment and operational stability of some prior designs are reduced or eliminated. Fiber coupling generally simplifies beam delivery and alignment. Some embodiments include an erbium fiber (or erbium-ytterbium) based CPA system operating at a wavelength of approximately 1550 nanometers. Similar performance can be obtained at other wavelengths, for example a 1.06 micrometer Yb-doped fiber system. Moreover, high amplification and peak intensity at the output may be achieved while avoiding non-linear effects in the pulse selector, thereby providing for high intensity picosecond or femtosecond operation.
