摘要
High-power ultrafast laser amplification based on a non-polarization maintaining fiber chirped pulse amplifier is demonstrated.The active polarization control technology based on the root-mean-square propagation(RMS-prop)algorithm is employed to guarantee a linearly polarized output from the system.A maximum output power of 402.3 W at a repetition rate of 80 MHz is realized with a polarization extinction ratio(PER)of>11.4 dB.In addition,the reliable operation of the system is verified by examining the stability and noise properties of the amplified laser.The M2factor of the laser beam at the highest output power is measured to be less than 1.15,indicating a diffraction-limited beam quality.Finally,the amplified laser pulse is temporally compressed to 755 fs with a highest average power of 273.8 W.This is the first time,to the best of our knowledge,that the active polarization control technology was introduced into the high-power ultrafast fiber amplifier.
