Electrically Synchronized 700-ps 1.3-µm Pulsed Laser for Generating Subpicosecond LWIR Pulses
Ya-Po Yang;Jheng-Yu Lee;Jyhpyng Wang
Terawatt level CO2 laser is considered a promising tool for proton acceleration. We choose a new approach to construct a high-energy seeding system for large-aperture CO2 amplifiers based on nonlinear mixing of 1.3-µm and 1540-nm pulses. In this paper we report
the performance of a Nd:YAG disk-based regenerative amplifier seeded by an electrically synchronized 700-ps, 1338-nm gain-switched diode laser. The seeded amplifier produces an output energy of ∼3.5-mJ with a timing jitter of ∼30-ps-rms, sufficient for smoothing the comb-like spectrum of CO2 amplifiers by power broadening.
