Abstract—We report the performance of a picosecond master-oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system
based on a diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) seed laser and Yb-doped fiber amplifier. An average power of 28
W at ~200 MHz repetition rate is achieved by using only one amplification stage. We found that positive non-
linear phase shift induced by nonlinear effect in the active fiber can be effectively compensated by a grating
pair. A pulse duration of ~1.6 ps is shown after recompression.
