Description

A novel laser architecture of laser-diode pumped eight pass 1064-nm Nd:YAG zig-zag slab laser amplifier with thermal birefringence compensation by use of a 90 degree quartz rotator has been developed aiming to achieve a high average power laser with high efficiency and good beam quality. With a 100W(1 kHz) class module, the basic performance of the novel concept was examined demonstrating an average power of 68 W with a high energy extraction efficiency of 61 % for the laser mode volume at an initial small signal gain of 3.03 on single pass, and an excellent beam quality, under negligible thermal lensing with the compensation of thermal birefringence.
