Abstract

We present a diode-pumped regenerative amplifier based on an $Yb : {CaF}_{2}$ crystal optimized to produce short pulses for various repetition rates ranging from $100 Hz$ to $10 kHz$ . The shortest pulse duration generated is $178 fs$ , and the corresponding energy is $1.4 mJ$ before compression ( $620 μJ$ after), at a repetition rate of $500 Hz$ for $16 W$ of pump power. The bandwidth is $10 nm$ centered at $1040 nm$ . Higher repetition rate regimes have also been explored, allowing an optical-to-optical efficiency up to 10% at a high repetition rate.
