Segmented amplifier configurations for laser amplifier chalins
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6397769
An amplifier system for high power lasers is described. The system is comprised of a compact array of segments which (1) preserves high large signal gain with improved pumping efficiency and (2) allows the total amplifier length to be shortened by as much as one order of magnitude. The system uses a three dimensional array of segments, with the plane of each segment being oriented at substantially the amplifier medium Brewster angle relative to the incident laser beam and with one or more linear arrays of flashlamps positioned between adjacent rows of amplifier segments, with the plane of the linear array of flashlamps being substantially parallel to the beam propagation direction.
