Generation and amplification of a picosecond optical pulse using a high-power Nd: glass laser
- 1. Osaka Univ., Suita (Japan). Inst. of Laser Engineering
Description
A 120-ps pulse from a Q-switch, mode-locked Nd: YAG laser was compressed to 1 ps by using two stages of a fiber-grating pulse compressor, an overall pulse-compression rate thus being 120. A laser pulse of 1 ps or 10 ps pulse width was amplified respectively to 0.8 TW or to 1.5 TW peak power by using a Gekko MII Nd:glass laser system. The design and performance of the optical pulse compressor, and detailed performance of amplification for the 1 ps pulse are presented. (author)
