Abstract
We demonstrated that Yb:YAG single crystal fibers have a strong potential for the amplification of femtosecond pulses. Seeded by pulses with an average power of at delivered by a passively mode-locked Yb:KYW oscillator, the system produced pulses with an average power of . This is the shortest pulse duration ever produced by an Yb:YAG amplifier. The gain in the single crystal fiber reached a value as high as 30 in a simple double-pass configuration.
