Composite Thin-Disk Laser Scaleable to 100 kW Average Power Output and Beyond

Conference Zapata, L ; Beach, R ; Payne, S

By combining newly developed technologies to engineer composite laser components with state of the art diode laser pump delivery technologies, we are in a position to demonstrate high beam quality, continuous wave, laser radiation at scaleable high average powers. The crucial issues of our composite thin disk laser technology were demonstrated during a successful first light effort. The high continuous wave power levels that are now within reach make this system of high interest to future DoD initiatives in solid-state laser technology for the laser weapon arena.

Operation of a 300 kV, 100 Hz, 30 kW average power pulser

Conference Buttram, M T ; Rohwein, G J

Applications for efficient and reliable pulse power systems with long lifetimes (>10/sup 8/ shots) are foreseen for electron beam generators, heavy ion accelerators and lasers leading eventually to inertially confined fusion reactors. These systems will have to be capable of continuous operation for sustained periods without requiring major maintenance or repair. High operating efficiency will be required not only to minimize power consumption but also to avoid heat build up and consequent damage to components. The system described in this paper represents an initial effort to develop an efficient energy handling high voltage pulser to study the problems of longmore » life components.« less
Nd-glass burst laser with kW average power output

Journal Article Walters, C T ; Dulaney, J L ; Campbell, B E ; ... - IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics

Demonstrations of operation of a compact neodymium glass laser with average output powers greater than 1 kW for several seconds are reported. The laser is based on the thermal inertia laser (TIL) concept wherein a neodymium-doped glass rod is pumped uniformly without cooling during a burst mode of laser operation. Design principles for TIL devices and scaling to 100 kW class lasers are discussed. Experimental results for a low repetition-rate proof-of-concept pulsed device (30 J, 0.2 Hz) and a high repetition-rate pulsed prototype (40 J, 36 Hz) are presented and compared to numerical solutions for the laser rate equations withmore » temperature dependent cross-sections.« less
