Parasitic suppression in large aperture disk lasers employing liquid edge claddings

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A liquid edge cladding system for parasitic suppression in large aperture, high gain disk laser amplifiers has been developed and tested. A near-saturated aqueous solution of ZnI2 was employed for index-matching. Adequate fluorescence absorption was demonstrated using either dissolved NiCl2 or chrome black oxide coating applied to the disk holder. Application of liquid cladding to a 20-cm aperture disk laser amplifier increased energy storage capability by approximately 20% over conventional solder glass claddings.
