High-power regenerative Nc:phosphate glass amplifier

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A compact high-power regenerative Nd:phosphate glass amplifier is described which incorporates spatial filtering and full image relay techniques. Output energies up to 1.2 J at a pulse duration of 140 ± 10 psec (FWHM) and 3 J at 900 ± 70 psec (FWHM) are achieved in a smooth nearly flattop beam intensity profile. Even with present-day technology, this system could be scaled into a terawatt regime.
