Abstract
We report on chirped-pulse amplification of an ultrafast thulium-doped fiber laser. Pulses with an energy of and a bandwidth-limited pulse duration of could be amplified to , which corresponds to an average power of at pulse repetition rate. The maximum output power was limited by the available pump power. The pulses could be dechirped to a duration of .
