Abstract
Control of nonlinearity is a challenge in fiber amplifiers designed to generate pulses of a few picoseconds duration, and as a result, picosecond fiber amplifiers have failed to reach peak power of . Divided-pulse amplification, combined with the use of circular polarization, allows the generation of pulses with energy as high as and peak power of .
