Disclosed is a pulse laser system including an injection system, an optical amplifier system and a beam combiner, the pulse laser system being designed to generate, on the one hand, an amplified pulse of short duration between 100 fs and a few hundred picoseconds and, on the other hand, another amplified pulse of long duration between a few picoseconds and several hundred nanoseconds, the amplified pulse of short duration and the other amplified pulse of long duration being from the same optical amplifier system and the amplified pulse of short duration being temporally overlapped with a relative delay with the other amplified pulse of long duration, the relative delay being less than or equal to the long duration.

Disclosed is a system and a method for generating high-power laser pulses with very high repetition rate. The laser system includes an oscillator capable of generating a source laser beam including a series of sources pulses with femtosecond or picosecond duration at a first repetition frequency no lower than 800 megahertz and an optical amplifier system suitable for receiving and amplifying the series of source pulses at a second repetition frequency that is equal to or a multiple of the first repetition frequency, the multiple being a non-negative integer greater than or equal to two, so as to generate a series of laser pulses with very high repetition frequency.
