The design and operation of a Nd:glass regenerative amplifier using a stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) phase conjugate mirror is presented. The system can be operated at 25-30 J per pulse with a pulse width of 14 ns and a pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of 6 Hz. This results in an average output power of >150 W with a peak power of 2 GW. The experimentally measured divergence of the amplifier output is 1.25× the diffraction limit and it can be frequency doubled with >80% efficiency. The detailed considerations required for this specific amplifier design are discussed as well as how these considerations apply to the design of high average power, high beam quality laser systems in general 相似文献

为了实现固体激光器高功率、高光束质量的输出,设计了一种激光二极管(LD)阵列抽运的主振荡级与功率放大器(MOPA)结构的Nd∶YVO4激光器。该激光器的振荡级采用平-平谐振腔结构,并使用棱镜组对激光二极管阵列的抽运光整形,消除了激光二极管阵列抽运光不对称对振荡器输出光束质量的影响,在连续工作条件下获得了6.1 W的激光输出,其光束质量M2因子为M2x=1.14,M2y=1.13,光-光转换效率为25.6%。放大级采用具有近共焦、非稳腔特点的折叠光路结构,使振荡级激光光束10次通过放大级晶体,并且有效地抑制了放大自发辐射(ASE)和寄生振荡。在振荡级以6.1 W注入放大器时,得到最大输出功率26.8 W,此时放大器提取效率为29.1%,输出光束质量M2因子为M2x=2.08,M2y=1.92。 相似文献

High average and high peak brightness slab laser 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A high average and high peak brightness Nd:YAG MOPA laser system composed of a laser-diode-pumped Nd:YAG master oscillator, flash-lamp-pumped slab power amplifiers and a phase conjugated mirror was developed. The system demonstrates an average output power of 235 W at a repetition rate of 320 Hz and a peak power of 30 MW at a pulse duration of 24 ns with M2=1.5. Both an average brightness of 7×109 W/cm2·sr and a peak brightness of 1×1015 W/cm2·sr are achieved simultaneously. The system design rules that we confirmed suggest that by replacing lamp pumping in the amplifier with laser-diode pumping, an average output power of ~1 kW can be obtained at ~1 kHz with a higher average brightness of ~3×1010 W/cm2·sr and a higher peak brightness of ~3×1015 W/cm2·sr 相似文献

Intersatellite optical communication links require laser beams of at least 1 W of power modulated at gigahertz frequencies. They can be delivered by a master oscillator power amplifier system which consists of a stable single-frequency Nd:YAG laser, a high-speed phase modulator, and an optical amplifier. To allow coherent detection, the polarization state must be stable and controllable at the amplifier output and the phase noise must be kept low. We report here the design and the experimental results of a diode laser-pumped double clad Nd-doped fiber amplifier with polarization control, 30-dB gain, and about 1.3 W of output power 相似文献

In this paper, a compact master-oscillator power-amplifier laser system incorporating telescopic beam expansion in a high-gain double-pass amplifier is presented. A miniature (0.5 W) master-oscillator copper vapor laser is used to efficiently extract over 37 W of high-beam-quality (full transverse coherence) output power from a kinetically enhanced nominally 35-W copper vapor laser at 12-kHz pulse repetition frequency. By configuring the oscillator for low coherence output and using a multimode optical fiber between the oscillator and the double-pass amplifier, a high-power (34 W) low-divergence output beam having a well-defined flat-top far-field beam profile was also produced. The flat-top farfield beam profile arises from control of the spatial coherence of a flat-top near-field beam, rather than the usual techniques for producing flattened Gaussian beams from coherent Gaussian beams. Use of the flat-top focused beam for high-speed percussion drilling of high quality 100-/spl mu/m diameter holes in metals was demonstrated, as well as high-power (34-W average power, 80-kW peak power) damage-free power transmission through 100-/spl mu/m core diameter step-index optical fibers. 相似文献

We describe a phase-conjugate master oscillator-power amplifier configuration in which as many as eight parallel flashlamp-pumped Cr:Nd:GSGG amplifiers and four parallel CD*A frequency doubling crystals were coherently combined. Operating at a pulse repetition frequency of 1.25 Hz, we demonstrated an output energy of 8.2 J at 1 μm and 4.4 J at 530 nm for a 54% frequency-doubling efficiency. This effort represents the highest reported output energy achieved using coherent coupling via phase conjugation. In subsequent experiments at a pulse repetition frequency of 5 Hz, we produced ~22 W of 1.06 μm average power with a beam quality that was ~2.5 times diffraction-limited. The observed far-field intensity profile indicates that we achieved effective and consistent compensation of optical-path length differences among the multiple parallel amplifiers and frequency-doubling crystals 相似文献

A passively Q-switched mode-locked Nd:GdYVO4 laser is successfully demonstrated by using a piece of GaAs crystalgrown at low temperature as the passively saturated absorber and the output coupler. Fundamental properties of the Nd:GdYVO4 laser are investigated. The maximum average output power of 3.5 W is obtained by using plainsphere when theincident pumping power is 10 W, which corresponds to an optical-optical coversion efficiency of 35%. The thresholdpower for the Q-switching mode-locked is 1.2 W. The maximum average output power of 1.72 W is obtained by usingGaAs when the incident pumping power is 10 W, mode-locked pulse train with a repetition rate of -113 MHz is achieved.At the incident laser pumping power of 7 W, the modulation depth is 100%. 相似文献
