  • Measured output energy, pulse duration, ASE levels, and pumping efficiency.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved an output energy of 41 mJ with 1.4-ns chirped pulses.
    • Suppressed amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) to 3%.
    • Obtained a pumping efficiency of 8.8% for the final amplifier stage.
    • Compressed the amplified pulses to a final duration of 320 fs Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM).

    Conclusions:

    • Steady-state CPA is effective for energy extraction and ASE suppression in multi-stage dye amplifiers.
    • The developed system demonstrates high energy output and efficient pulse compression.
    • This approach is promising for generating high-power, ultrashort laser pulses.
