Pulsed frequency-shifted feedback laser for laser guide stars: intracavity preamplifier.
Intensive use of laser guide stars with the new generation of extremely large telescopes and hypertelescopes will require the use of more efficient lasers to surmount novel limitations and aberrations. The pulsed frequency-shifted feedback (FSF) laser we have developed overcomes the saturation of sodium atoms and solves the new problems. This work presents a highly efficient solution for operat...

متن کاملIntracavity frequency-doubled degenerate laser.
We develop a green light source with low spatial coherence via intracavity frequency doubling of a solid-state degenerate laser. The second-harmonic emission supports many more transverse modes than the fundamental emission, and exhibits lower spatial coherence. A strong suppression of speckle formation is demonstrated for both fundamental and second-harmonic beams. Using the green emission for...
متن کاملLaser Development for Sodium Laser Guide Stars at ESO
A breakthrough in the development of sodium laser guide star technology at ESO was made in 2009. The laser research and development programme has led to the implementation of a narrowband Raman fibre laser emitting at the wavelength of the sodium lines at 589 nm with demonstrated power beyond 50 W. Fibre lasers are rugged and reliable, making them promising candidates for use in the next genera...
متن کاملSingle-frequency Pulsed Laser Oscillator and System for Laser-ultrasonics
We present a new pulsed laser oscillator and system for the optical detection of ultrasound in materials. A single-frequency laser oscillator based on a pulse pumped Nd:YAG rod inside a ring cavity is proposed. The laser delivers single-frequency pulses of 35 W power. Power of about 1 kW can be obtained when the second rod of a dual-rod pumping chamber is used as an amplifier. Performance of th...
