The application belongs to the technical field of
laser, and relates to a high-energy
ultrashort pulse laser. The
laser comprises a mode-locked
fiber laser oscillator, a
nonlinear amplifier, a stretcher, a pulse selection module, a pre-amplification stage, a main amplification stage and a compressor. In the laser, the cavity dispersion of the mode-locked
fiber laser oscillator is negative dispersion which is designed optimally, and the output pulse is injected into the
nonlinear amplifier after pre-
chirp management, so that a flat wide spectrum can be obtained; the stretcher, the pulse selection module, the pre-amplification stage, the main amplification stage and the compressor are combined to realize further efficient amplification of the injected pulse. The application can adopt a full polarization maintaining structure which has high stability and reliability, and realizes common use of nonlinear amplification and
chirped pulse amplification technology, so that the
gain narrowing problem in the traditional
chirped pulse amplification process can be overcome, the
single pulse energy amplification limit of the nonlinear amplification technology can be broken through, and finally the output of high-energy
ultrashort laser pulse is realized.
