The front-end delivers pulses at 1.5-$\mu$m and 1-$\mu$m. The Yb:YAG amplifier boosts these pulses to 5-mJ, 1-kHz. The systems operate uninterrupted for weeks.}, year = {2021}, journal = {Advanced Solid State Lasers}, volume = {OSA Technical Digest}, pages = {AW2A.7}, month = {2021-11}, publisher = {Optical Society of America}, url = {http://www.osapublishing.org/abstract.cfm?URI=ASSL-2021-AW2A.7}, }
