Abstract: | The generation of the highest laser peak intensities at a high degree of system compactness can be achieved by combining modern
diode-pump technologies with the chirped pulse amplification technique. In principle, the spectroscopic properties of the
gain medium determine the scaling laws of both high output pulse energy and short pulse duration. Here we introduce a novel
criterion classifying laser materials with respect to their ability to generate pulses of highest peak power in a diode-pumped
solid state laser system. Furthermore, amplified spontaneous emission as well as laser damage issues affecting the efficiency
and compactness of a laser amplifier system are discussed.
