Fiber-bundle lasers (FBL) are known as a special kind of solid-state lasers with spatially separated partial gain media.1,2 Because of the faster heat exchange in comparison to monolithic laser architectures, they allow to reach significantly higher pump levels as well as high pulse repetition frequencies (PRF). We report on advanced FBL schemes with solid-state Q-switching elements for the first time. Peak powers in the range of 100 kW have been produced.
