title: A 1.33 µm picosecond pulse generator based on semiconductor disk mode-locked laser and bismuth fiber amplifier.
abstract: We demonstrate that a combination of ultrafast wafer bonded semiconductor disk laser and a bismuth-doped fiber amplifier provides an attractive design for high power 1.33 µm tandem hybrid systems. Over 0.5 W of average output power was achieved at a repetition rate of 827 MHz that corresponds to a pulse energy of 0.62 nJ.
