Abstract
Abstract
Ultrafast amplifiers using industrial thin-disk technology from TRUMPF deliver record pulse energies of 200 mJ at 5 kHz. In addition, multipass amplifiers to increase the average power and pulse energy and concepts for nonlinear compression to reach pulse durations below 50 fs will be discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
We report on the development and characterization of kW-average-power cryogenically-cooled amplifiers generating Joule-level pulses of picosecond duration at 1 kHz. Analysis of the thermal and multilayer coating damage behavior of a high-energy kilowatt-average-power diode-pumped Yb:YAG active mirror based on measurements and simulations is presented.
WC1.3 - FEMTOSECOND THIN-DISK OSCILLATORS AND NONLINEAR OPTICAL PHENOMENA IN MULTI-PASS CELLS
Abstract
Abstract
Nonlinear optical phenomena involving ultrashort pulses such as spectral broadening, soliton self-compression and soliton Raman self-frequency shifting (SRSFS) in Herriot type multi-pass cells will be reviewed. Additionally, a dual-comb (dual-output) femtosecond thin-disk oscillator and spectroscopy with this source will be reported.

Abstract
Abstract
In case of thin-disk gain media, heat generated is extracted via a cooled metallic heatsink through additional layer. An epoxy bonding technology developed at HiLASE center is a perfect instrument where high quality layers and good thermal conductivity are required.
