چکیده
We address the peak power scaling of our DPSS MOPA system from 10 MW to >100 MW (anticipated) at multi-kHz for OPCPA pumping. We discuss the challenges in scaling this Nd-based picosecond amplifier system. OCIS codes: (140.0140) Laser and laser optics; (140.3280) Laser amplifiers

Diode-Pumped High Energy and High Average Power
We present our research on the high energy picosecond laser operating at a repetition rate of 1 kHz and the high average power picosecond laser running at 100 kHz based on bulk Nd-doped crystals. With diode-pumped solid state (DPSS) hybrid amplifiers consisting of a picosecond oscillator, a regenerative amplifier, end-pumped single-pass amplifiers, and a side-pumped amplifier, an output energy ...
متن کاملSelf-compression of millijoule pulses from a 1.5 μm OPCPA
We demonstrate a four-stage optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA) system delivering carrierenvelope phase (CEP)-stable ∼1.5-μm pulses with energies up to 12.5 mJ before recompression. The system is based on a fusion of femtosecond DPSS Yb technology and a picosecond 100-mJ Nd:YAG pump laser. Pulses with 62-nm bandwidth are recompressed to a 74.4-fs duration close to the transfo...
متن کاملHigh Gain Solid-State Amplifiers for Picosecond Pulses
Picosecond solid-state lasers are attractive for many industrial and scientific applications, such as precision material processing (Dausinger et al., 2003; Breitling et al., 2004), nonlinear optics (McCarthy & Hanna 1993; Ruffling et al., 2001; Sun et al., 2007) and laser spectroscopy (Mani et al., 2001). In contrast with traditional laser processing performed with 10-100 ns multi-kHz sources,...
متن کاملNarrow linewidth picosecond UV pulsed laser with mega-watt peak power.
We demonstrate a master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) burst mode laser system that generates 66 ps/402.5 MHz pulses with mega-watt peak power at 355 nm. The seed laser consists of a single frequency fiber laser (linewidth < 5 KHz), a high bandwidth electro-optic modulator (EOM), a picosecond pulse generator, and a fiber based preamplifier. A very high extinction ratio (45 dB) has been achie...
