Popis: There is a growing demand for MHz-repetition rate industrial ultrafast laser sources that operate from the ultraviolet to the near IR. This paper discusses third harmonic generation (THG) of a high repetition-rate, femtosecond dual function Yb:YAG thin slab amplifier. Both pre-amplifier and power amplifier functions take place in a single crystal and homogeneous pumping of the thin slab is achieved by means of novel diode bar imaging. Fundamental output powers of
