LD pumped Yb:YAG regenerative amplifier for high average power short-pulse generation

A diode pumped Yb:YAG regenerative amplifier has been developed for short pulse generation. High gain and efficient cooling characteristics were achieved in the laser gain module using a thin square‐rod laser structure. Average output power of 10 W was realized at a pulse repetition rate of 100 kHz...

Zusammenfassung:	A diode pumped Yb:YAG regenerative amplifier has been developed for short pulse generation. High gain and efficient cooling characteristics were achieved in the laser gain module using a thin square‐rod laser structure. Average output power of 10 W was realized at a pulse repetition rate of 100 kHz with 6.2 ps pulse width. (© 2008 by Astro Ltd., Published exclusively by WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)
