Laser system and method for generating very high repetition rate laser pulses

摘要

The present invention relates to a system and method for generating high power laser pulses with very high repetition rates. According to the present invention, the laser system is capable of generating a source laser beam including a series of source pulses 100 having a femtosecond or picosecond duration of a first repetition frequency F1 of 800 MHz or more. Oscillator 1, and a second repetition frequency equal to or a multiple of the first repetition frequency F1 (the multiple is a non-negative integer greater than or equal to 2) to generate a series of laser pulses with a very high repetition frequency And an optical amplification system 2 configured to receive and amplify the series of source pulses 100 of (F2).
