In this manuscript, an implementation of a tunable nonlinear phase compensation method is demonstrated on a typical femtosecond hybrid laser consisting of a fiber pre-amplifier and an additional solid-state amplifier. This enables one to achieve constant laser pulse parameters over a wide range of pulse repetition rates in such a laser. As the gain in the solid-state amplifier is inversely proportional to the input power, the shortfall in the solid-state gain at higher repetition rates must be compensated for with fiber pre-amplifier to ensure constant pulse energy. This increases the accumulated nonlinear phase and consequently alters the laser pulse parameters such as pulse duration and Strehl ratio. To overcome this issue, the nonlinear phase must be compensated for, and what is more it should be compensated for to a different extent at different pulse repetition rates. This is achieved with a tunable CFBG, used also as a pulse stretcher. Using this concept, we demonstrate that constant laser pulse parameters such as pulse energy, pulse duration and Strehl ratio can be achieved in a hybrid laser regardless of the pulse repetition rate.
