Abstract
A high power short optical pulse source 10 can include a master oscillator 12, preamplifier 14, and pump laser 16 provided within a first enclosure 28 at a first location. The high power short optical pulse source can further include a high power fiber amplifier 20 provided within an optical head 18, which is located at a second location, remote from the first location. The optical head 18 can have a small footprint and can be positioned at the intended target of optical pulses output from the high power short optical pulse source. The large, noisy elements of the high power short optical pulse source 10 are thereby provided away from the application site of the pulses.
