Methods and systems for generating femtosecond fiber laser pulses are disclose, including generating a signal laser pulse from a seed laser oscillator; using a first amplifier stage comprising an input and an output, wherein the signal laser pulse is coupled into the input of the first stage amplifier and the output of the first amplifier stage emits an amplified and stretched signal laser pulse; using an amplifier chain comprising an input and an output, wherein the amplified and stretched signal laser pulse from the output of the first amplifier stage is coupled into the input of the amplifier chain and the output of the amplifier chain emits a further amplified, stretched signal laser pulse. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

2 micron femtosecond fiber laser

Methods and systems for generating ultra-short fiber laser pulses are disclosed, including generating a signal laser pulse from a seed fiber laser; using a pulse stretcher comprising an input and an output, wherein the signal laser pulse is coupled into the input of the pulse stretcher; using a Tm:ZBLAN fiber comprising an input and an output, wherein the stretched signal laser pulse from the output of the pulse stretcher is coupled into the input of the Tm:ZBLAN fiber; using a pump laser coupled to either the output or the input of the Tm:ZBLAN fiber to amplify the stretched signal laser pulse; and using a compressor comprising an input and an output, wherein the output of the Tm:ZBLAN fiber is coupled to the input of the compressor and the output of the compressor emits the amplified signal laser pulse. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
