Multiple-pass amplifiers for high-power laser systems

  • 1. Israel Atomic Energy Commission, Yavne. Soreq Nuclear Research Center

Description

Multiple-pass amplifiers were configured from Nd:glass rods using polarization and angular coupling techniques. Very high gain (>600) single beam triple-pass booster stages and high gain (30 or 15) single or double-beam double-pass amplifiers were combined to construct a very cost effective high-power (50 GW) pulsed laser system. These techniques were also effectively applied to smaller compact high repetition-rate systems. (author)
