Lasers are widely used in precision metrology, defense, and micromachining. The rise of GHz burst processing has increased interest in high-repetition-rate laser sources. Electro-optic (EO) frequency combs are promising due to their excellent controllability and GHz-range tunability. However, the modulation process that generates EO combs produces M-shaped spectra with pronounced side peaks containing high-order chirped components. These can degrade amplification efficiency and limit pulse distribution quality due to incomplete temporal compression. In this study, we implemented a 24-W EO comb-based picosecond laser system and applied programmable spectral shaping with a 0.7-nm Gaussian-filter to suppress spectral side peaks. As a result, temporal energy confinement of compressed pulse was significantly improved from 53.1 to 92.8% while maintaining comparable output power and pulse duration. These findings demonstrate that spectral shaping can effectively enhance the temporal quality of EO comb pulses, supporting their application in high-precision GHz-burst micromachining.
