Abstract

For over a decade development of high-energy diode pumped solid state lasers (DPSSLs) has focused on scaling energy and increasing pulse repetition rate to unlock their potential for practical applications. These include new sources for industrial materials processing applications and as pump sources for higher repetition rate PW-class amplifiers, which can themselves generate high-brightness secondary radiation and ion sources leading to new remote imaging and medical applications. To meet this challenge we have been developing a nanosecond pulsed DPSSL architecture at the Central Laser Facility, based on scalable cryogenic gas cooled, multi-slab ceramic Yb:YAG amplifier technology [1], capable of operating at 10 Hz. Installation and commissioning of the first such 100 J-class system, DiPOLE100 [2], has recently been completed at the HiLASE Centre in the Czech Republic [3], where its potential for industrial applications will be explored.
