Abstract
A system and method for generating a burst of ultra-short, high-power laser pulses, the system includes elements for generating laser pulses having a repetition period τ, amplification elements including an optical amplifier medium, a regenerative optical cavity, elements for injecting the laser pulses into the regenerative optical cavity, and elements for extracting the laser pulses from the regenerative optical cavity. The regenerative optical cavity has a total length such that the duration of a round trip of each pulse is between N−1 and N times the period τ, wherein N is an integer higher than or equal to 2, the injection elements are adapted for trapping a burst of N laser pulses in the regenerative optical cavity, the extraction elements are suitable to extract the burst of N laser pulses from the regenerative optical cavity, and the optical amplifier medium is suitable for forming a burst of amplified laser pulses.
