Near-diffraction-limited, high-energy, high-power, diode-pumped laser using thermal aberration correction with aspheric diamond-turned optics
- Fibertek, Inc., 510 Herndon Parkway, Herndon, Virginia 22070 (United States)
We achieved a 1.3 x diffraction-limited output beam with a pulse energy of 0.76 J at 60 Hz (average power of 46 W) at 1.064 {mu}m from a diode-pumped Nd:YAG master oscillator power amplifier rod laser using a diamond-turned aspheric optic to compensate thermally induced phase distortion of the gain medium. The output was frequency doubled in KTP to 30 W (0.5-J pulse energy) and 2.4 x diffraction-limited at 532 nm. {copyright} {ital 1996 Optical Society of America.}
