  • high Energy khz picosecond hybrid yb doped chirped pulse amplifier
    Optics Express, 2015
    Co-Authors: Chunlin Chang, Peter Krogen, Kyunghan Hong, Luis E Zapata, Jeffrey Moses, Annelaure Calendron, Houkun Liang, Gregory J Stein, Phillip D Keathley, Guillaume Laurent
    Abstract:

    We report on a diode-pumped, hybrid Yb-doped chirped-pulse amplification (CPA) laser system with a compact pulse stretcher and compressor, consisting of Yb-doped fiber preamplifiers, a room-temperature Yb:KYW regenerative amplifier (RGA), and cryogenic Yb:YAG multi-pass amplifiers. The RGA provides a relatively broad amplification bandwidth and thereby a long pulse duration to mitigate B-integral in the CPA chain. The ~1030-nm laser pulses are amplified up to 70 mJ at 1-kHz repetition rate, currently limited by available optics apertures, and then compressed to ~6 ps with high efficiency. The near-diffraction-limited beam focusing quality is demonstrated with Mx2 = 1.1 and My2 = 1.2. The shot-to-shot Energy Fluctuation is as low as ~1% (rms), and the long-term Energy drift and beam pointing stability for over 8 hours measurement are ~3.5% and <6 μrad (rms), respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this hybrid laser system produces the most energetic picosecond pulses at kHz repetition rates among rod-type laser amplifiers. With an optically synchronized Ti:sapphire seed laser, it provides a versatile platform optimized for pumping optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification systems as well as driving inverse Compton scattered X-rays.
