A 5 kHz sub-nanosecond master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) laser system with high pulse energy and peak power was reported in this paper.
A 5 kHz sub-nanosecond master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) laser system was reported in this paper. The master oscillator was an electro-optically Q-switched Nd:YVO4 laser directly pumped at 879 nm, yielding a pulse energy of 52 mu J and a pulse width of 900 ps at 5 kHz. With two Nd:YVO4 amplifiers directly pumped at 914 nm, the pulse energy was further scaled up. Under the absorbed pump energy of 11.0 mJ, the pulse energy was amplified to 4.2 mJ, corresponding to a peak power of 4.7 MW. The optical-to-optical efficiency of the amplifiers reached 33.5%.
