The Mercury Project: A High Average Power, Gas-Cooled Laser with Frequency Conversion and Wavefront Correction

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The Mercury laser operated continuously for several hours at 55J and 10Hz with fourteen 4×6 cm2 Yb:S-FAP amplifier slabs pumped by eight 100kW diode arrays. Average power frequency conversion employing YCOB yielded 50% conversion efficiency.
