Abstract

In many fields such as the inertia controlled fusion (ICF), the stabilization of the laser power sometimes plays an important role in the whole system. We choose the LiNbO₃ crystal as the light attenuator to stabilize the laser power. By using the successive approach method, the stabilization of the LD pumped Nd:YLF laser improves from 2~3%/h to less than 0.5%/h.
