Regenerative amplifier: a source for synchronized, variable-duration pulses

OSTI ID:6662093
Regenerative amplifiers (RA) are flexible and stable devices for amplifying and varying the pulsewidth of picosecond pulses. With a Nd : YAG-RA amplifications up to 14 orders of magnitude with a stability of +-2% have been demonstrated. Also, variable pulsewidths over the range 10/sup -11/ to 10/sup -9/ sec for a fixed injection pulsewidth were demonstrated. With these capabilities, the RA can be used in a dual-pulse system to provide stable, accurately synchronized pulses of widely different duration. Such a system greatly extends the range of pulse-probe experiments for studies of relaxation phenomena, photochemistry, and laser-generated plasmas.
