چکیده

We describe spatial filters used in a Nd:glass laser with an output pulse energy up to 300 J and a pulse duration of 1 ns. This laser is designed for pumping of a chirped-pulse optical parametric amplifier. We present data required to choose the shape and diameter of a spatial filter lens, taking into account aberrations caused by spherical surfaces. Calculation of the optimal pinhole diameter is presented. Design features of the spatial filters and the procedure of their alignment are discussed in detail.

Effects of Non-Ideal Pre-Distorter High Power Amplifiers in WCDMA Using Multi-User Detectors

Wide band code division multiple access (WCDMA) signals, transmitted by the base station high power amplifiers (HPAs), show high peak to average power ratios (PAPR), which results in nonlinear distortions. In this paper, using computer simulations effect of using a predistorted HPA on the symbol error rate (SER) of multi-user detectors in terms of output back-off (OBO) in the transmit power...

Unified Pulsed Laser Range Finder and Velocimeter using Ultra-Fast Time-To-Digital Converter

In this paper, we present a high accuracy laser range finder and velocimeter using ultra-fast time-to-digital converter (TDC). The system operation is based on the measuring the round-trip time of a narrow laser pulse. A low-dark current high-speed PIN photodiode is used to detect the triggered laser beam and to produce start signal. The pulsed laser diode generates 45W optical power at 30ns du...

Free-Electron Lasers as Pumps for High-Energy Solid-State Lasers

High average-power free-electron lasers may be useful for pumping high peak-power solid-state laser-amplifiers. At very high peak-powers, the pump source for solid-state lasers is non-trivial: flash lamps produce thermal problems and are unsuitable for materials with short florescence-times, while diodes can be expensive and are only available at select wavelengths. FELs can provide pulse train...

On the Impact of Prototype Filter Length on the PAPR Reduction of FBMC Signals

Abstract— One of the challenging issues for Filter Bank Multicarrier (FBMC) systems is their high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) which leads to the saturation of the high power amplifiers and consequently increases the out of band power. In this paper, we evaluate different FBMC PAPR reduction techniques and especially analyze the impact of the prototype filter length/overlapping factor on ...

diffraction-limited beam and quantum noise measurements in a continuous-wave laser-diode-pumped Nd:YAG MOPA system

We describe a Nd:YAG slab laser master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system that has been scaled to 104 W of output power at 1064 nm, single transverse mode. The amplifier system consists of rod amplifiers followed by edgeand end-pumped slab amplifiers. The MOPA output of 104 W was 89% fundamental TEM00 spatial mode with less than 3% depolarization. These results are a key milestone in the ...
