Abstract

The Laboratory for Laser Energetics of the University of Rochester has operated a single-beam 351-nm laser irradiation facility for several years.1 This facility has been based on the glass development laser (GDL), a Nd:phosphate glass laser system that is capable of generating more than 150 J in 1-ns pulses at 1054 nm.2 With an overall frequency tripling efficiency of >50%, this facility has also been capable of generating more than 75 J in 1 ns at 351 nm. We now report on the upgraded GDL facility that consists of a frequency- tripled active-mirror-boosted GDL laser system which produces in excess of 800 J in 500 ps and 150 J in 100 ps for a substantial increase in third harmonic radiation.
