Laser system schematic. (a) Custom-built ytterbium fiber amplifier seeded by a commercial fiber oscillator. The amplified output is 3 W at 1055 nm with a pulse-width of 120 fs (b) Custom-built diamond Raman laser. The output is 300 mW at 1240 nm with a pulse-width of 100 fs. ISO is isolator, BD is beam dump, GLP is Glan-laser polarizer, G1 and G2 are transmission gratings, OC is output coupler, P1 and P2 are equilateral prisms, CVD is chemical vapor deposition.
