This article deals with a high power, high repetition-rate picosecond regenerative amplifier based on Nd:YVO/sub 4/. Using novel electro-optic modulators (EOM), the system generates average powers well above 10 Watt at repetition-rates up to 100 kHz. The combination of good beam quality, high power and high repetition rate qualifies this laser system as a valuable tool for micro-machining. In particular, metallic materials like steel can be processed with a high speed of operation.
