Regenerative Nd:glass amplifier seeded with a Nd:fiber laser.
Wavelength tuning and broad-bandwidth operation of a passively mode-locked Nd:fiber laser is demonstrated at 1060 microm. The oscillator pulses are used to seed a bulk regenerative Nd:glass amplifier, and 300-fs transformlimited pulses with an energy of 10 microJ are obtained after 31 round trips at a repetition rate of 500 Hz.
