Abstract
We review the status of commercially available USP (ultra short pulse) laser amplifiers and their key components, analyzing how technology innovation and industrial/scientific applications are pushing boundaries in performance and reliability. These improvements will be instrumental in facilitating adoption in challenging environments like defense applications. We provide examples of performance requirements for various applications and describe the challenges to overcome to increase performance and reliability of fielded USP lasers and amplifiers.
