30 KW PEAK POWER FLASH-LAMP PUMPED NOVEL ND:YAG SOLID-STATE LASER

摘要

A high energy high peak power flash-lamp pumped pulsed Nd:YAG solid-state laser is reported in this paper. The symmetrical resonator laser is developed and rated at single pulse energy 60 J, peak power 30 Kw with beam parameter product 2 mm·mrad The total system electro-optics efficiency of the lamp-pumped YAG laser is as high as 3.1% with pulse width tunable between 0.05 ~ 2 ms The results are consistent with the theoretical analysis and simulation.
