A high power gain switched diode laser oscillator and amplifier for the CEBAF polarized electron injector

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/563274· OSTI ID:563274

The photocathode in the polarized electron source at Jefferson Lab is illuminated with pulsed laser light from a gain switched diode laser and diode optical amplifier. Laser pulse repetition rates up to 2,000 MHz, optical pulsewidths between 31 and 123 ps, and average power > 100 mW are demonstrated. The laser system is highly reliable and completely remotely controlled.
