Abstract
A pulse laser apparatus includes a laser configured to generate a pulse of a laser beam, a fiber amplifier, and a pulse compressor. The fiber amplifier includes a rare-earth doped fiber that exhibits normal dispersion at a wavelength of the laser beam generated from the laser. The pulse laser apparatus further includes a unit configured to give a loss to energy portions in a wavelength region corresponding to a zero-dispersion wavelength of the rare-earth doped fiber and/or a wavelength region longer than the zero-dispersion wavelength within a wavelength spectrum of the laser beam having been chirped in the fiber amplifier.

18. A pulse laser apparatus comprising:
-
a fiber amplifier configured to amplify and chirp a light pulse from a laser; and a pulse compressor configured to compress a pulse width of the light pulse from the fiber amplifier, wherein the fiber amplifier includes a rare-earth doped fiber that exhibits normal dispersion at a center wavelength of a wavelength spectrum of the light pulse from the laser, wherein the rare-earth doped fiber chirps the light pulse so that the light pulse has energy portions in a wavelength region longer than a zero-dispersion wavelength of the rare-earth doped fiber, and wherein the fiber amplifier is configured to give a loss to the energy portions. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
