1. A system for optical amplification, comprising:

  • one or more passively wavelength-stabilized pump diodes configured to generate pumping light;

    a gain medium comprising a first portion and a second portion, the gain medium configured to receive into the first portion the pumping light near an absorption peak of the gain medium and amplify pulsed laser light coupled into the second portion of the gain medium to a high peak power; and

    an output section configured to process the amplified pulsed laser light to result in an ultrashort athermally-ablative pulse of light.
