High-repetition-rate Cr:Nd:GSGG active-mirror amplifier.

چکیده
We have designed, constructed, and operated a 3.8-cm clear-aperture Cr:Nd:GSGG active-mirror amplifier. We believe this to be the first active mirror that uses a crystalline host and the largest-aperture Cr:Nd:GSGG amplifier yet reported. We have measured a small-signal gain of 1.6. The wave front has been measured and found to be less than three waves of defocus at repetition rates of up to 10 Hz. Surface displacements were measured and compared with theory. Depolarization was less than 2.5% at maximum power at any location in the clear aperture.

Integration of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Deformable Mirrors in Doped Fiber Amplifiers
We present a simple technique to produce active Qswitching in various types of fiber amplifiers by active integration of an electrostatic actuated deformable metallic micro-mirror. The optical MEMS (MOEMS) device acts as one of the laser cavity reflectors and, at the same time, as switching/ modulator element. We aim to obtain laser systems emitting short, high-power pulses and having variable ...

In this paper, the spectral behavior of a two-cell phase conjugated mirror (PCM)with a two-pass Nd:YAG amplifier has been analyzed experimentally and theoretically. For this purpose, amplifier input intensity for the three different states of laser oscillator with one, two and three longitudinal modes have been investigated. The numerical model is based on 2-dimension equations of stokes back-s...
متن کاملNd:glass diode-pumped regenerative amplifier, multimillijoule short-pulse chirped-pulse-amplifier laser.
We have built a diode-pumped Nd:glass regenerative amplifier that is able to produce energies up to 20 mJ within a 470-fs pulse duration at a 1-Hz repetition rate. We obtained this amplifier by using specific intracavity components such as a phase mirror and a birefringent filter to generate a large spatial mode and a large spectral width.

An ultrafast laser system for the chemically important 3-mm spectral region has been constructed by means of noncritically phased-matched KTiOPO4 optical parametric gain elements. An optical parametric oscillator, synchronously pumped by a mode-locked Ti:sapphire oscillator, generates high-quality seed pulses for an optical parametric amplifier. The optical parametric amplifier, pumped by a hig...
متن کاملTi:sapphire amplifier producing millijoule-level, 21-fs pulses at 1 kHz.
We have developed a Ti:sapphire amplifier system capable of producing pulses of 1 mJ, with 20-22-fs pulse duration, at a 1-kHz repetition rate. The amplifier has a unique design consisting of a three-mirror multipass ring configuration with a highly doped Ti:sapphire crystal as the gain medium. Pulses of 15-fs duration from a Ti:sapphire oscillator are temporally stretched and injected into the...
