Abstract
We present a diode-pumped regenerative amplifier based on an crystal optimized to produce short pulses for various repetition rates ranging from to . The shortest pulse duration generated is , and the corresponding energy is before compression ( after), at a repetition rate of for of pump power. The bandwidth is centered at . Higher repetition rate regimes have also been explored, allowing an optical-to-optical efficiency up to 10% at a high repetition rate.
