Title: Efficient laser amplifier using sequential pulses of different wavelengths

Abstract

A laser oscillator output pulse is separated into a plurality of separate beams which are temporally or spatially individually amplified by a power amplifier. The beams may then be recombined to provide a more powerful output than conventional single beam amplification.
