Abstract
A chirped pulse amplification (CPA) system and method is described wherein a pulse selector is added after a final amplifier in the system. The pulse selector is configured to select amplified pulses such that the system output repetition rate of the CPA system is below an ASE-limiting repetition rate of the amplifiers. The system may also comprise pulse pickers placed before the final amplifier to control pulse energy of the amplified pulses.
