A hybrid ytterbium-doped fiber – bulk laser source generating up to 116MW peak power for 3ps pulse duration at 50kHz repetition rate and 1030nm wavelength is presented. Tunability of the pulse duration is made by spectral compression occurring into the seeder. Divided Pulse Amplification scheme is investigated to study energy capabilities of the setup.
