High-repetition-rate burst-mode Nd:YAG laser with an optimized side-pumping scheme and a variable reflectivity mirror unstable resonator
【摘要】 We report a high-repetition-rate, side-pumped, and burst-mode Nd:YAG laser utilizing an unstable resonator with a variable reflectivity mirror. A small-signal gain model is developed to improve gain non-uniformity in a side-pumped module. At40 kHz Q-switching, with a 1 ms pump duration, the laser achieves 0.36 J burst energy, 451 kW peak power, and 19 ns pulse width. The output beam exhibits a flat-top profile characterized by a 10th-order super-Gaussian distribution and a coefficient of variation of 0.206. This is the first demonstration, to our knowledge, of flat-top beam generation in a high-repetition-rate side-pumped Nd:YAG burst-mode laser.
