Abstract:
The present invention provides systems and methods for producing short laser pulses that are amplified and spectrally broadened in a bulk gain media. The bulk material, having laser gain and nonlinear properties, is concurrently exposed to an optical pump input and a seed input, the pump power being sufficient to amplify and spectrally broaden the seed pulse.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of enhancing properties of sub-nanosecond pulses comprising:\n coupling pulsed signal light light at a first wavelength into a bulk gain medium, thereby guiding input sub-nanosecond pulses of the signal light through the bulk gain medium in a single pass, wherein each input sub-nanosecond pulse of the signal light has a first pulse duration, first spectral width and first pulse peak power; and coupling pump light at a second wavelength, which is different from the first wavelength, into the bulk gain medium while guiding the sub-nanosecond pulses there through, thereby outputting sub-nanosecond pulses at the first wavelength such that each output sub-nanosecond pulse has a:\n second pulse duration shorter than the first pulse duration, \n second spectral width broader than the first spectral width, and \n second pulse peak power higher than the first pulse peak power.
