High-efficiency Yb:YAG thin-disk chirped pulse amplifier delivering 884-femtosecond laser with tunable repetition rates and high stability
We experimentally demonstrated a compact, highly efficient, stable, chirped pulse amplification (CPA) thin-disk regenerative system with a tunable repetition rate. The laser head consists of a 9 at. % Yb:YAG thin-disk with a diameter of 8.8 mm and a thickness of 150 μm, is designed for a 48-pump pass configuration. In CPA-based regenerative amplifier configuration, a maximal output power of 85 W at 500 kHz is achieved with a conversion efficiency of 53.1 %. This corresponds to a pulse energy of 170 μJ. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest conversion efficiency in CPA thin-disk regenerative amplifiers. The pulse width is compressed to 884 fs with a pair of grating, resulting in a peak power of 192 MW. At 85 W, a near diffraction limit beam quality factor M2 of 1.40 is measured, which is essential in precision applications. In addition, remarkable long-term power stability is confirmed with a root-mean-square (RMS) fluctuation of 0.12 % over a 24-hour duration. The reported femtosecond amplifier is believed to be a promising tool for various applications such as extreme manufacturing, terahertz spectroscopy, etc.
期刊介绍:
The Journal covers the entire field of infrared physics and technology: theory, experiment, application, devices and instrumentation. Infrared'' is defined as covering the near, mid and far infrared (terahertz) regions from 0.75um (750nm) to 1mm (300GHz.) Submissions in the 300GHz to 100GHz region may be accepted at the editors discretion if their content is relevant to shorter wavelengths. Submissions must be primarily concerned with and directly relevant to this spectral region.
Its core topics can be summarized as the generation, propagation and detection, of infrared radiation; the associated optics, materials and devices; and its use in all fields of science, industry, engineering and medicine.
Infrared techniques occur in many different fields, notably spectroscopy and interferometry; material characterization and processing; atmospheric physics, astronomy and space research. Scientific aspects include lasers, quantum optics, quantum electronics, image processing and semiconductor physics. Some important applications are medical diagnostics and treatment, industrial inspection and environmental monitoring.
