Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, there have been reports of laser systems with a single pulse energy greater than 100J, but their repetition rate is very low, generally lower than 10Hz, which limits some of its applications; and for pulse lasers on the order of hundreds of Hz, the highest single pulse energy is 5J, The repetition frequency is 200Hz; both lasers adopt the MOPA structure, which makes the system structure very complex, the cost is high, the efficiency is relatively low, the requirements for the operating environment are harsh (cannot meet the needs of field operations), and further amplification is difficult; and the use of structure A simple single resonator oscillation method can also obtain a pulsed laser, but it is limited by the solid-state laser spot aperture and the size of the active modulation element. The maximum single pulse energy obtained is only on the order of hundreds of mJ, which is not enough to cause damage to the optical system. It is also difficult to meet the needs of special industrial processing
