Nd:YAG ring laser with 213 W linearly polarized fundamental mode output power.
We present a high power fundamental mode ring oscillator with four longitudinally diode-pumped laser rods and effective birefringence compensation as a laser source for the next generation of gravitational wave detection. With this setup a linearly polarized output power of 213 W in a nearly diffraction limited beam with an M2 value of 1.15 was demonstrated.
متن کاملVery high-order pure Laguerre-Gaussian mode selection in a passive Q-switched Nd:YAG laser.
An intra-cavity phase element, combined with a passive Q-switch saturable absorber and a suitable intra-cavity aperture, can provide extremely high mode discrimination, so as to obtain laser operation with single, pure, very high order Laguerre-Gaussian mode. With a Nd:YAG laser setup, well controlled and extremely stable Q-switched operation in the degenerate Laguerre-Gaussian TEM04, TEM14, TE...
متن کاملRadially polarized passively mode-locked thin-disk laser oscillator emitting sub-picosecond pulses with an average output power exceeding the 100 W level.
We report on a high-power passively mode-locked radially polarized Yb:YAG thin-disk oscillator providing 125 W of average output power. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest average power ever reported from a mode-locked radially polarized oscillator without subsequent amplification stages. Mode-locking was achieved by implementing a SESAM as the cavity end mirror and the radial pol...
متن کاملDirect Electron Acceleration with Radially Polarized Laser Beams
In the past years, there has been a growing interest in innovative applications of radially polarized laser beams. Among them, the particular field of laser-driven electron acceleration has received much attention. Recent developments in high-power infrared laser sources at the INRS Advanced Laser Light Source (Varennes, Qc, Canada) allowed the experimental observation of a quasi-monoenergetic ...
متن کاملEfficient radially polarized laser beam generation with a double interferometer.
Conversion of a linearly polarized CO(2) laser beam into a radially polarized beam is demonstrated with a novel double-interferometer system. The first Mach-Zehnder interferometer converts the linearly polarized input beam into two beams with sin(2) θ and cos(2) θ intensity profiles, where θ is the azimuthal angle. This is accomplished by using two spiral-phase-delay plates with opposite handed...
