Abstract
The results of an experimental study of the chirped pulse amplification regime are reported for the crystal with different polarization states in the gain media for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. A maximum output power of 4.2 W with 310 fs pulse duration was obtained for -polarization at 200 kHz repetition rate seeded by a 85 fs Yb:KYW oscillator. 215 fs pulses with an output power of 3 W and 190 fs with 2.3 W output power were demonstrated for -polarized light in the crystal. Gain narrowing effects for different polarization states in the crystal are discussed.
