Abstract

A high-energy, high-beam-quality, and pulse-width-tunable Nd:YAG laser system, pumped by vertical cavity surface emitting laser arrays and laser diodes, is demonstrated and applied to a velocity interferometry system for any reflector (VISAR) application in a high power laser facility. A multistage multipass amplification structure is used to fully extract the amplifier energy and obtain a high-energy pulse. The temporal waveform is compensated to provide a square waveform, with a flatness less than 8% (peak-to-peak value). The peak power is greater than 100 kW with a frequency-doubling efficiency of 25% for a 50 ns pulse width. The laser operates as a single shot with 1–5 Hz repetition frequency and 0.7% rms energy stability.
