High-efficiency, single-stage 7-kHz high-average-power ultrafast laser system.
We demonstrate a simple and practical single-stage ultrafast laser amplifier system that operates at a repetition frequency from 1 to 10 kHz, with millijoule pulse energy and as much as 13 W of average power. The repetition rate can be adjusted continuously from 1 to 10 kHz by new all-solid-state pump laser technology. This is to our knowledge the highest average power ever obtained from a sing...
متن کاملWavefront Compensation of Zig-zag Slab Laser Amplifier under High Power Diode Laser Pumping
A diode-pumped Nd:glass zig-zag slab laser was developed for the purpose of inertial fusion energy (IFE) driver and material processing. In this laser system, we obtained 10.6 J output at 1 Hz repetition rate and 8.4 J at 10 Hz [1]. As a repetition rate increased, the obtainable output energy was limited because of thermal lensing of laser glass induced by high average power laser diode pumping...
متن کامل40-W average power, 30-Hz moving-slab Nd:glass laser.
A moving-slab-geometry Nd:glass laser has been designed and demonstrated. An average power output of 43.8 W has been achieved at 2.76-kW input power and at 2.06% slope efficiency. The moving-slab laser has the potential for scaling to kilowatt average power levels.
متن کاملHighly Efficient, High-Gain, Short Length and Power Scalable Incoherent Diode Slab-pumped Fiber Amplifier/Laser
We propose a new geometry of clad-pumped fiber amplifier/laser that includes at least one doped core which guides the signal wave and at least one clad region that guides the incoherent pump. Our proposed geometry enables the incoherent diode pump light to be efficiently absorbed by the doped glass core over very short lengths on the order of a few to tens of centimeters. The transparent claddi...
متن کاملUltrafast laser and amplifier sources
There has been remarkable progress in the development of high peak-power ultrafast lasers in recent years. Lasers capable of generating terawatt peak powers with unprecedented short pulse durations can now be built on a single optical table in a small laboratory. The rapid technological progress has made possible a host of new scientific advances in high-field science, such as the generation of...
