✦ Synopsis

A diode pumped Yb:YAG regenerative amplifier has been developed for short pulse generation. High gain and efficient cooling characteristics were achieved in the laser gain module using a thin square-rod laser structure. Average output power of 10 W was realized at a pulse repetition rate of 100 kHz with 6.2 ps pulse width.
