High power Bessel pulses directly output from a fiber-based amplifier system are demonstrated. A compact solution based on the inverse micro-axicon (IMAX) on fiber end is proposed for the conventional ultrashort pulse fiber laser system to enable the direct generation of high power Bessel pulses from lasers without any additional exhausting alignments. The IMAX is fabricated on one facet of a ytterbium-doped large mode area fiber by focusing ion beam technique and constitutes an integrated beam shaper in combination with an inherent collimating lens in the fiber laser system. The experimental results accord qualitatively with the simulations. The system can directly generate chirped Bessel pulses with diffraction-free propagation in meter-scaled free space. The highest average power of such a wavepacket can reach 10.1 W, correspongding to 178 nJ, and the pulse duration can be dechirped to 140 fs.
