Design Optimization of Single-Main-Amplifier KrF Laser-Fusion Systems

Experimental details of KrF Oscillator - Amplifier laser configuration

The experimental details of KrF laser “oscillator – amplifier” configuration used in UCSD mirror damage facility are given. Two commercial KrF lasers are used for running oscillator-amplifier mode of operation. The pulses from Compex KrF excimer laser is sliced using a Pockels cell to FWHM 5ns and passed through the LPX excimer cavity for amplification. The experimental details, gain analysis a...

Fast - Discharge - Initiated KrF Laser

Intense laser emission has been observed from the KrF molecule formed by a chemical reaction initiated by fast-discharge circuitry. With a gas mixture of He:Kr:NF, = 500:50:1 and a sample pressure of 700 Torr, an output energy of 0. 8 mj was measured from a 25-nsec laser pulse (FWHM). Spectral analysis of the laser emission indicated laser action at 248.5 and 249.5 nm.

Single-frequency blue laser fiber amplifier.

An all-fiber amplifier for a single-frequency blue laser was demonstrated for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. Over 150 mW continuous-wave single-transverse-mode blue laser output was obtained with a 10 m 1000 ppm thulium-doped fluoride fiber pumped by a 1125 nm fiber laser at a power of 2 W. The output power was limited due to the onset of the competitive lasing at 783 nm. Photoda...

CMOS Low Noise Amplifier Design Optimization Techniques

This paper reviews and analyzes four reported low noise amplifier (LNA) design techniques applied to the cascode topology based on CMOS technology: classical noise matching (CNM), simultaneous noise and input matching (SNIM), powerconstrained noise optimization (PCNO), and power-constrained simultaneous noise and input matching (PCSNIM) techniques. Very simple and insightful sets of noise param...
