摘要：

We report on the study of direct amplification of femtosecond pulses in an 80 mu m core diameter microstructured Yb-doped rod-type fiber amplifier in the nonlinear regime. The system includes a compact single grating compressor for the compensation of the small dispersion in the amplifier. With a 1250 line/mm (1/mm) gyrating-based compressor, pulses as short as 49 fs with 870 nJ pulse energy and 12 MW peak power are obtained. Alternatively, the use of a 17401/mm grating allows the production of higher quality pulses of 70 fs, 1.25 mu J pulse energy, and 16 MW peak power. (c) 2008 Optical Society of America.
