Abstract

The goal of the DAPKL program is to scale high brightness, diode pumped solid state lasers to the 10 J, 100 Hz level with a beam quality that is ≤ 1.5 times the diffraction limit. The approach uses the phase conjugated master oscillator power amplifier (PC MOPA) architecture, which has been used to obtain near diffraction limited beam quality at 100 W average powers. The energy per pulse is scaled by increasing the size of Nd: YAG slabs through diffusion bonding.
