A fiber Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA) laser system includes a fiber
mode-locking oscillator for generating a laser and stretching into a few
hundreds ps-10 ns pulse by a fiber stretcher for projecting into an
acoustic-optic (AO) functioning as a pulse picker for generated a
modulated laser with a reduced repetition rate for projecting to a
multiple stage amplifier. The multiple stage amplifier further includes a
first high-energy amplifier implemented with a large mode area (LMA)
fiber for amplifying the modulated laser up to a uJ level laser and a
second amplifier implemented with a PCF based Yb doped fiber to further
amplify the uJ level laser to a mJ level laser.
