The direct output pulse from the amplifier is 47fs with an average power of 1.22 W and a repetition rate of 50 MHz, corresponding to a pulse energy of 24 nJ. The full width at half-maximum of the spectrum of the output pulses is approximately 93nm at a central wavelength of 1572nm so that the transform- limited pulse duration is as short as 39 fs.
