Abstract

Figure 1 shows the layout of our experiment. The master oscillator is a diode-pumped, almost diffraction limited Nd:YVO4 laser. We used a birefringence-compensation scheme consisting of the relay-imaging telescope with two f = 229 mm lenses and a quartz-rotator (90° QR) to eliminate the stress-induced birefringence of the two Nd:YAG amplifiers.1 This birefringence and the resulting depolarization is the strongest aberration in Nd:YAG lasers.
