Abstract
We demonstrate an interferometrically stable pulse multiplexing-amplification-recombination scheme for direct laser amplification of picosecond pulses. Switching from single-pulse amplification to the burst mode increases extraction efficiency, gain in cw-pumped crystals and output energies.
