    High average power Yb:CaF2 femtosecond amplifier with integrated simultaneous spatial and temporal focusing for laser material processing

    A watt level, 10-kz repetition rate chirped pulse amplification system that has an integrated simultaneous spatial and temporal focusing (SSTF) processing system is demonstrated for the first time. SSTF signif...

    Chirped-pulse amplification near the gain-narrowing limit of Yb-doped fiber using a reflection grism compressor

    We report a numerical and experimental study of chirped-pulse amplification of femtosecond pulses near the gain narrowing limit of Yb-doped fiber. We show that a strongly inhomogeneous lineshape provides a goo...

    Hydrodynamic focusing for vacuum-pumped microfluidics

    Hydrodynamic focusing has proven to be a useful microfluidics technique for the study of systems under rapid mixing conditions. Most studies to date have used a “push” configuration, requiring multiple pumps o...

    Chirped-Pulse Amplifiaction with a Fiber Stretcher and a Grism Compressor

    We demonstrate chirped-pulse amplification of femtosecond pulses using a fiber stretcher. We use a grism pair to achieve the highest single-stage compression factor (750) ever obtained from a fiber.
