Beam Combined Laser Fusion Driver using Stimulated Brillouin Scattering Phase Conjugation Mirrors
Beam combination method using stimulated Brillouin scattering phase conjugation mirrors (SBSPCMs) is a promising technique for the real laser fusion driver, which can be operated with a high repetition rate over 10 Hz. The phase control of the SBS wave is essential for realization of the coherent beam combined output. For this reason, we proposed a novel “self phase control technique” of the SB...
متن کاملBeam combined high energy/high power laser system operating at a repetition rate over 10Hz for laser fusion driver using stimulated Brillouin scattering phase conjugate mirrors
The authors developed a novel method for phase controlling of a stimulated Brillouin stimulated scattering wave (SBS wave) by a single concave mirror which is the most simple way ever found. The beam combination of small lasers using the SBS-phase conjugate mirrors enables the development of the unlimitedly high energy/high power laser operating at high repetition rate that is the same as the c...
متن کاملMultiple Channel Laser Beam Combination and Phasing Using Stimulated Brillouin Scattering in Optical Fibers
Brightness scaling lasers using stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in optical fibers is explored. A multiple-channel amplifier approach is used to increase the total power of a laser system while avoiding a significant burden on a single channel. The work explores two approaches utilizing both SBS beam cleanup and SBS piston error conjugation. A unique beam combiner that takes advantage of t...
متن کاملDemonstration of laser pulse amplification by stimulated Brillouin scattering
The energy transfer by stimulated Brillouin backscatter from a long pump pulse (15 ps) to a short seed pulse (1 ps) has been investigated in a proof-of-principle demonstration experiment. The two pulses were both amplified in different beamlines of a Nd:glass laser system, had a central wavelength of 1054 nm and a spectral bandwidth of 2 nm, and crossed each other in an underdense plasma in a c...
متن کاملHigh energy, single-mode, narrow-linewidth fiber laser source using stimulated Brillouin scattering beam cleanup.
We propose an original nonlinear beam cleaning fiber laser architecture to obtain high energy pulses with a good beam quality and a narrow linewidth. The output beam of a large core Er:Yb co-doped multimode fiber amplifier (M(2) approximately 6, 220 microJ) is converted into a near diffraction limited beam (M(2) = 1.6) through a stimulated Brillouin scattering injection seeded beam cleanup proc...
