Abstract :
The article consists of a Powerpoint presentation on applications of pulse shaping in high power fiber laser systems. The paper concludes that many technologies now available for shaping light in fibre, supplemented by an increasing array of fiberised components; leverage of telecom technology and concepts into new and emerging fields represents an important enabler allowing shaping on ns, ps and fs timescales; shaping at high power levels particularly attractive for a host of scientific and industrial processing applications and shaping of the spatial mode profile represents an interesting further source control possibility.
