Abstract

We use the amplifier saturation model of Frantz and Nodvik1,2 to model the amplification of a pulse in a multipass amplifier. Figure 1 summarizes our most important findings. The amplified pulse fluence Jout(p) as a function of pass number, p, is shown. Fluctuations in the pump fluence are the main source of amplifier instability. They are incorporated in Fig. 1 through the use of manifolds of five curves. Variation of the pump fluence by ±2.5% and ±5% around a central value results in the five curves of each manifold.
