High power ultra-short lasers have a wide range of applications in fields such as high-field physics， precise processing， and national defense. The output power of ultra-short fiber lasers has been improved significantly with the development of diode pump sources and fiber manufacturing process. Besides， the high power ultra-short fiber laser and its amplification and compression technologies have attracted more and more interest in recent years due to the advantages of fibers including good heat dissipation， high environment stability， good beam quality， and so on. This paper focuses on the advanced research of high power ultra-short fiber lasers and its amplification and compression technology. Several new methods， such as Mamyshev mode-locking，“9-type cavity” mode-locking， and spatiotemporal mode-locking， for producing high power and high energy ultra-short fiber lasers are reviewed. The recent progress of coherent combination and non-linear compression technology to produce high power ultra-short pulse in fibers is introduced.
