High power blue-green laser by hypocycloidal-pinch plasmas
Journal Article

· J. Appl. Phys.; (United States)
A high power blue-green laser has been pumped with an array of multiple-stage hypocycloidal-pinch plasmas. The maximum untuned laser power obtained with LD-490 dye exceeded 230 kW with a pulse width of 1.0 ..mu..s (FWHM). The characteristics of the new pumping source and optical coupling configuration indicate that the system can be developed for repetitive and high average power operation.
