1. A method of generating ultrashort optical pulses having increased optical power, comprising the steps of:

  • generating optical pulses from a source;

    stretching duration of each of the optical pulses to be greater than energy storage time of an optical amplifier;

    amplifying the stretched optical pulse with the optical amplifier; and

    compressing the optical pulse, wherein optical power of the compressed optical pulse is increased.
