Abstract
We report on the nonlinear compression of passively Q-Switched microchip laser pulses based on SPM-induced spectral broadening followed by chirp removal. Initial 100-ps pulses are fiber amplified, thereby spectrally broadened and compressed to 6 ps. Pulse energies as high as 13 µJ at repetition rates of several 100 kHz have been obtained.
