Chip-integration of femtosecond technology could revolutionize applications such as point-of-care diagnostics, bio-medical imaging, portable chemical sensing, or autonomous navigation. However, current sources lack the required power, and the on-chip amplification of femtosecond pulses is an unresolved challenge. Here, addressing this challenge, we report >50-fold amplification of 1~GHz repetition-rate chirped femtosecond pulses in a CMOS-compatible photonic chip to 800 W peak power with 116 fs pulse duration. Nonlinear effects, usually a hallmark of integrated photonics but prohibitive to pulse amplification are mitigated through all-normal dispersion, large mode-area rare-earth-doped gain waveguides. These results offer a pathway to chip-integrated femtosecond technology with power-levels characteristic of table-top sources.}, keywords = {Optics (physics.optics) (Other) / FOS: Physical sciences (Other)}, cin = {FS-CFEL-2-UMP / CFEL-UFOX}, cid = {I:(DE-H253)FS-CFEL-2-UMP-20201209 / I:(DE-H253)CFEL-UFOX-20160927}, pnm = {631 - Matter – Dynamics, Mechanisms and Control (POF4-631) / FEMTOCHIP - FEMTOSECOND LASER ON A CHIP (965124) / STARCHIP - Microphotonics-based frequency combs for habitable exoplanet detection (853564) / DFG project G:(GEPRIS)403188360 - Ultrabreitbandiger Photonisch-Elektronischer Analog-Digital-Wandler (PACE) - Phase 2 (403188360)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-631 / G:(EU-Grant)965124 / G:(EU-Grant)853564 / G:(GEPRIS)403188360}, experiment = {EXP:(DE-H253)CFEL-Exp-20150101}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)25}, eprint = {2311.04758}, howpublished = {arXiv:2311.04758}, archivePrefix = {arXiv}, SLACcitation = {$\%\%CITATION$ = $arXiv:2311.04758;\%\%$}, doi = {10.3204/PUBDB-2023-06618}, url = {https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/597521}, }
