Abstract
A theoretical and experimental investigation is conducted on a high repetition-rate side-pumped burst-mode Nd:YAG laser. The absorbed pumping power distribution and laser resonator are meticulously optimized to enlarge the area of the fundamental mode and improve thermal stability. With the 1 ms pumping duration and a pumping frequency of 10 Hz, the pulsed laser’s burst energy, peak power, and pulse width achieve 0.29 J, 347 kW, and 16 ns, respectively, with the Q-switched repetition rate of 50 kHz. The minimum coefficient of variation for the laser pulse train remains below 5 %. This study represents the first demonstration of a long-term reliable output from a high-energy, nanosecond-pulsed, side-pumped Nd:YAG burst laser operating at 50 kHz.
期刊介绍：
The Journal covers the entire field of infrared physics and technology: theory, experiment, application, devices and instrumentation. Infrared'' is defined as covering the near, mid and far infrared (terahertz) regions from 0.75um (750nm) to 1mm (300GHz.) Submissions in the 300GHz to 100GHz region may be accepted at the editors discretion if their content is relevant to shorter wavelengths. Submissions must be primarily concerned with and directly relevant to this spectral region.
Its core topics can be summarized as the generation, propagation and detection, of infrared radiation; the associated optics, materials and devices; and its use in all fields of science, industry, engineering and medicine.
Infrared techniques occur in many different fields, notably spectroscopy and interferometry; material characterization and processing; atmospheric physics, astronomy and space research. Scientific aspects include lasers, quantum optics, quantum electronics, image processing and semiconductor physics. Some important applications are medical diagnostics and treatment, industrial inspection and environmental monitoring.
