چکیده
Slab-geometry solid-state lasers potentially provide significant performance improvements relative to conventional rod-geometry lasers. We have used a Nd:glass laser test-bed facility to verify the predicted slab-configuration advantages.

40-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 کاملDiode-laser-array-pumped neodymium slab oscillators.
A high-power multistripe diode-laser array has been used to pump miniature zigzag slab oscillators of Nd:YAG and Nd:glass. With Nd:YAG we have demonstrated output at 1.06 microm of 70-kW peak power and 585-mW average power with an electrical-to-optical efficiency of 4%. In this experiment the Nd:glass lasers were limited to 160-mW average power and less efficiency than the Nd:YAG. The differenc...
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 کاملHigh-energy 13.9 nm table-top soft-x-ray laser at 2.5 Hz repetition rate excited by a slab-pumped Ti:sapphire laser.
We have demonstrated repetitive operation of a table-top lambda=13.9 nm Ni-like Ag soft-x-ray laser that generates laser pulses with 10 microJ energy. The soft-x-ray laser is enabled by a Ti:sapphire laser pumped by high-repetition-rate frequency-doubled high-energy Nd:glass slab amplifiers. Soft-x-ray laser operation at 2.5 Hz repetition rate resulted in 20 microwatt average power.
متن کاملDesign and testing of a large-aperture, high-gain, Brewster 's angle zigzag Nd:glass slab amplifier.
At the University of Rochester we have constructed and tested a large-aperture, (1.0 x 6.5 cm), high-gain (8) Brewster 's angle zigzag Nd:glass amplifier with a repetition rate of 2 Hz. This amplifier has a gain uniformity of +/-3 % and a maximum stress-induced depolarization <2.5 %.
