Abstract
Here we present a coherent pulse stacking approach for up-scaling energy of a solid-state femtosecond chirped pulse amplifier. We demonstrate pulse splitting into four replicas, amplification in a specially designed regenerative amplifier cavity, and phase-locked stacking into one dominant pulse. An optimized regenerative amplifier design for non-overlapping pulse train amplification is presented.
