Abstract

In most high power laser chains running at 1 µm since the 90’s, the amplification media is Ti:sapphire because of its wide emission spectrum. With a single Ti:sapphire regenerative amplifier the mJ can be easily reached at 800 nm but at 1053 nm the gain is very low and an additional stage of amplification is needed to reach tens of mJ [1].
