    Abstract: The present invention relates to compact, low noise, ultra-short pulse sources based on fiber amplifiers, and various applications thereof. At least one implementation includes an optical amplification system having a fiber laser seed source producing seed pulses at a repetition rate corresponding to the fiber laser cavity round trip time. A nonlinear pulse transformer, comprising a fiber length greater than about 10 m, receives a seed pulse at its input and produces a spectrally broadened output pulse at its output, the output pulse having a spectral bandwidth which is more than 1.5 times a spectral bandwidth of a seed pulse. A fiber power amplifier receives and amplifies spectrally broadened output pulses. A pulse compressor is configured to temporally compress spectrally broadened pulses amplified by said power amplifier. Applications include micro-machining, ophthalmology, molecular desorption or ionization, mass-spectroscopy, and/or laser-based, biological tissue processing.

    Abstract: A method for achieving high-power solid-state lasers by multiple beams combination using cascaded compound laser oscillators, comprising the following steps: 1) Designing a compound resonator to achieve an output beam perpendicular to the axis of oscillation in which a compensating lens is used; 2) Designing beam combination of two independent solid-state lasers in cascaded compound cavities and using 4f optical system to compensate the beam waist separation between two lasers; 3) Based on the first two steps, multiple beams combination of N independent solid-state lasers can be achieved. In the present invention, N output beams emitted from N independent solid-state lasers are completely combined, and the combined beams hold the same waist position, size and divergence along down the same optical axis. Therefore, it can preserve original beam quality with that of individual solid-state lasers.
