Problems solved by technology

[0003] In existing high-power laser amplifier systems, the main problem is the thermal problem in the laser gain medium
[0004] In the existing slab laser amplifier system, since the thickness of the slab-shaped laser crystal is still relatively large, there is inevitably a temperature gradient during heat dissipation, thereby reducing the quality of the laser beam; directly coating the surface of the laser gain crystal, Therefore, the damage threshold of the laser crystal surface is limited; the input laser is a Z-shaped path inside the slab laser crystal, and its bending angle is generally large, and the utilization rate of the pump gain is low, so the heat dissipation of the laser crystal is poor, and the laser damage threshold is low. Low Pu gain utilization is still a problem with existing technologies

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of solid-state laser amplifiers, in particular to a slab laser amplifier and a laser output method thereof. Background technique [0002] Both the laser amplifier and the laser (oscillator) are based on the same physical process of "optical amplification by stimulated radiation", the only difference is that the laser amplifier has no resonant cavity. Laser amplifiers can obtain high output power (energy) and high beam quality laser beams; however, the two indicators of high output power and high beam quality are a contradictory process in the laser, and it is difficult to meet them at the same time. In the laser amplifier system, the seed laser beam with high beam quality and low output power is generally included as the input laser, and the input laser is then amplified by the laser amplifier to obtain a laser with high output power and high beam quality. output. [0003] In existing high-power laser ampl...
