Abstract

It is concluded that polymer bonded edge cladding is absolutely safe at a maximum flux of 10 kW/cm/sup 2/ for carbon inclusions if the size of the inclusion in the polymer bonding agent is less than 1 ..mu..m diameter. If the maximum flux level is half that used in the analysis (5 kW/cm/sup 2/), the temperature rise for small diameter inclusions would be half that shown by the curve comparison, dust and iron oxide inclusions of 1 ..mu..m can withstand flux levels of about 140 and 14 kW/cm/sup 2/, respectively. Polymer bonding agent with inclusions of 1 or 2 ..mu..m maximum diameter can be manufactured by filtering the polymer.

Development of composite polymer-glass edge claddings for Nova laser disks

Conference Campbell, J H ; Edwards, G ; Frick, F A ; ...

Large Nd:glass laser disks for disk amplifiers require an edge cladding which absorbs at 1 ..mu..m. This cladding prevents edge reflections from causing parasitic oscillations that would otherwise deplete the gain. We have developed a composite polymer-glass edge cladding that consists of absorbing glass strips bonded to the edges of laser glass disks using an epoxy adhesive. The edge cladding must survive a fluence of approximately 20 J/cm/sup 2/ in a 0.5-ms pulse. Failure can occur either by decomposition of the polymer or by mechanical failure from thermal stresses which leads to bond delamination. An epoxy has been developed thatmore »« less
Thermal stress in the edge cladding of Nova glass laser disks

Conference Pitts, J H ; Kong, M K ; Gerhard, M A

We calculated thermal stresses in Nova glass laser disks having light-absorbing edge cladding glass attached to the periphery with an epoxy adhesive. Our closed-form solutions indicated that, because the epoxy adhesive is only 25 ..mu..m across, it does not significantly affect the thermal stress in the disk or cladding glass. Our numerical results showed a peak tensile stress in the cladding glass of 24 MPa when the cladding glass had a uniform absorption coefficient of 7.5 cm/sup -1/. This peak value is reduced to 19 MPa if surface parasitic oscillation heating is eliminated by tilting the disk edges. The peakmore »« less

Platinum particles in the Nd:doped disks of phosphate glass in the Nova laser

Conference Milam, D ; Hatcher, C W ; Campbell, J H

The disks of Nd:doped phosphate glass in the amplifiers of the Nova laser contain platinum particles with sizes ranging from <5 ..mu..m (detection limit) to about 100 ..mu..m. The particle density varies from about 0.01 to 1.0 cm/sup -3/. These particles cause fractures when irradiated at fluences >2.5 J/cm/sup 2/ delivered in 1-ns, 1054-nm pulses. Under repeated irradiation at 5 to 7 J/cm/sup 2/, damage from small (<5 ..mu..m) particles asymptotically approaches a limiting size, but damage surrounding the larger particles grows steadily. The damage threshold fluence, 2.5 J/cm/sup 2/, corresponds to operation of Nova at one-half the desired outputmore »« less

Enhanced flux pinning from CuO inclusions in Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}O{sub y} crystals

Journal Article Wang, X L ; Horvat, J ; Liu, H K ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}O{sub y} (Bi2212) crystals with CuO inclusions were grown on the surface of KCl flux. The density of CuO incorporations of 10{sup 9}/cm{sup 2} was similar to that for Y{sub 2}BaCuO{sub y} in melt-textured YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub y}. The CuO inclusions are needlelike particles with diameter of less than 1 {mu}m. Magnetization measurements show enhanced flux pinning at high magnetic field, compared to crystals without CuO. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}

6.5 kW, Yb:YAG Ceramic Thin Disk Laser

Journal Article Latham, William P ; Newell, Tim C ; Lobad, Ahmed ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

The operation of a 1030 nm, single, thin disk laser which produced 6.5 kW of laser output power with 57 percent slope efficiency is reported. The Yb:YAG ceramic gain element is 200 {mu}m thick, bonded to a 1 mm, undoped, ceramic YAG cap. The gain element is pumped by diodes at 940 nm. The maximum incident pump intensity was 5 kW/cm{sup 2}, which yielded an output intensity of 2.6 kW/cm{sup 2} of multimode laser radiation. Rigrod analysis suggests that the laser operates with inhomogeneous gain saturation. This is attributed to the enhanced, spatial-hole-burning effect when the gain element is adjacentmore »« less
