Abstract

The invention relates to a low-temperature Yb: yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) regenerative amplifier. The low-temperature Yb: YAG regenerative amplifier consists of six parts, namely a pulse signal optical coupling system, an isolation system, an optical regenerative amplifying cavity, an electro-optical switch system, a low-temperature vacuum system and a pumping system; a sheet Yb: YAG crystal is used as a gain medium; by adoption of a pumping manner that a semiconductor laser device is back to the end face, the pulse signal light achieves an amplified gain effect due to temperature-controllable refrigeration of liquid nitrogen on the Yb: YAG crystal; and the stability of the amplified output energy is improved. By the low-temperature Yb: YAG regenerative amplifier, amplification of a pulse signal with high repetition frequency, high stability, high gain and high optical quality is realized.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a solid laser, in particular to a low-temperature ytterbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (hereinafter referred to as Yb:YAG) regenerative amplifier for laser pulse amplification. The signal laser pulse can obtain high stability, high gain, and maintain high beam quality amplification. Background technique [0002] Nowadays, high-energy lasers usually use Nd:glass as the gain medium, such as the NIF device in the United States and the SGII device in my country. Due to their poor thermal conductivity, the heat generated is difficult to be quickly taken away by the refrigerant, resulting in a low overall laser repetition frequency. With the continuous deepening of ICF research, high-energy lasers with higher repetition rates have gradually become a new research direction in various countries. Yb:YAG crystal has excellent thermal conductivity and is considered by many countries to replace Nd:glass as the working material of a new gene...
