The invention discloses a
time domain peak shifting amplification
system and method, and belongs to the technical field of optical amplification. According to the
system, firstly, an input single
laser pulse sequence is decomposed into two sub-pulse sequences with preset time
delay in a
time domain through a
time domain peak shifting module; then the sub-pulse sequences are sequentially amplified through the same
gain region of the same common amplification module, so that the instantaneous power in the amplification process is reduced; and finally, performing
delay compensation on the amplified sub-pulse sequences through a synchronous beam combining module, and combining the sub-pulse sequences into a single high-energy output
pulse sequence. According to the technical scheme, through combination of time domain peak shifting and common amplification, the problem of optical damage caused by too
high peak power in the amplification process of high-power ultrafast
laser is solved, meanwhile, the output energy limit of a single amplification
system is effectively improved, and the
system structure is remarkably simplified.
