Abstract

Beam quality is critical for laser applications in both scientific and industrial fields. Stimulated Brillouin scattering phase conjugate mirror (SBS-PCM) serves as an effective beam cleanup scheme due to its phase conjugation properties. In this work, a SBS-PCM using fused silica was constructed and employed in a double-pass amplifier setup. With an input energy of 75.2 mJ, the system achieved a maximum magnification of approximately 9 times, resulting in an output energy of 672 mJ. Comparative analysis with a high-reflection mirror revealed that the SBS-PCM effectively mitigated unfavorable diffraction patterns induced by the hard-edge aperture in the near-field pattern, improving the beam quality factor from 1.23 to 1.085 times the diffraction limit. Additionally, the coefficient of determination (R²) of the beam profile improved by 2.18 % compared to that of the high-reflection mirror. These results indicate that the free-space all-solid-state SBS-PCM can provide a promising approach to improving beam quality for high-power laser systems.

利用熔融石英作为全固态 SBS-PCM 提高高能激光器的光束质量

光束质量对于科学和工业领域的激光应用至关重要。受激布里渊散射相位共轭镜（SBS-PCM）因其相位共轭特性而成为一种有效的光束净化方案。在这项工作中，利用熔融石英构建了一个 SBS-PCM，并将其应用于双通道放大器装置中。输入能量为 75.2 mJ，系统的最大放大倍数约为 9 倍，输出能量为 672 mJ。与高反射镜的对比分析表明，SBS-PCM 能有效减轻近场图案中硬边孔径引起的不利衍射图案，将光束质量因子从衍射极限的 1.23 倍提高到 1.085 倍。此外，与高反射镜相比，光束轮廓的确定系数 (R2) 提高了 2.18%。这些结果表明，自由空间全固态 SBS-PCM 是提高高功率激光系统光束质量的有效方法。
