摘要
为了获得高效、高平均功率、高光束质量的激光器,提出了一种利用90度石英旋转器泵浦八通1064 nm Nd:YAG锯齿形板状激光放大器的新型激光结构。以100 W (1 kHz)级模块为例,验证了该新概念的基本性能:平均功率为68 W,激光模式体积的能量提取效率高达61%,单通初始信号增益为3.03,光束质量优异,热透镜补偿为热双折射,可忽略。
A novel laser architecture of laser-diode pumped eight pass 1064-nm Nd:YAG zig-zag slab laser amplifier with thermal birefringence compensation by use of a 90 degree quartz rotator has been developed aiming to achieve a high average power laser with high efficiency and good beam quality. With a 100 W (1 kHz) class module, the basic performance of the novel concept was examined by demonstrating an average power of 68 W with a high energy extraction efficiency of 61% for the laser mode volume at an initial small signal gain of 3.03 on single pass, and an excellent beam quality, undernegligible thermal lensing with the compensation for thermal birefringence.
