Article Synopsis
- Researchers successfully amplified 10 ns pulses up to 10 J energy at a rate of 10 Hz using a DiPOLE laser amplifier with innovative Yb:YAG/Cr:YAG composite slabs made via adhesive-free bonding (AFB) technology.
- The bonded slabs demonstrate effective performance in high energy cryogenic laser amplifiers and allow for efficient frequency doubling, achieving 3.9 J in the green spectrum from a 5 J infrared output with a 78% conversion efficiency.
- The study highlights AFB technology’s potential to produce larger gain material slabs, addressing current manufacturing limits and facilitating energy scaling in high-energy lasers where traditional methods fall short.*
