Time-resolved analysis of ASE impact in a copper bromide MOPA system
This study investigates the influence of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) on the output characteristics of a Master Oscillator Power Amplifier (MOPA) system, with particular attention to the temporal dependence of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The time delay between the ASE generated in the power amplifier and the laser pulse emitted by the master oscillator was varied over a wide range, from − 36 to + 24 ns. A positive delay corresponds to the input signal entering the amplifier before the onset of ASE. Temporal profiles of the ASE, the input pulse, and the amplified output signal were recorded and analyzed. The results demonstrate that the temporal alignment of the input signal with the leading edge of the ASE critically affects the output power and the efficiency of population inversion utilization. The maximum output power of 3.87 watts was achieved at a time delay of plus 4.7 ns, when the peak of the input pulse coincided with the ASE front. Quantitative estimates of the ASE contribution to the output signal were obtained, enabling an assessment of the SNR under various timing conditions. These findings provide practical recommendations for optimizing synchronization in MOPA-based laser systems to maximize output contrast and minimize noise.
