Abstract

We achieved high-power synchronized multicolor ultrashort lasers by spectral fraction amplification and master-slave laser configuration at 79.5-MHz repetition rate. The amplified high-power laser pulses at 1030 nm were synchronous to 800- and 1550-nm laser pulses with the timing jitter of 7.7 and 56.5 fs, respectively. Synchronized frequency-doubled femtosecond green light with 16.7-W average power was obtained.
