Abstract

In this paper, the influence of the delay time between the pre-pulse and the main pulse on the double-pass amplified 46.9 nm laser was studied for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, by using a high-precision polished SiC slice as a rear mirror. The temporal and spatial characteristics of the output laser were measured separately to investigate the effect of the delay time on the laser characteristics. The energy of the double-pass amplified laser was between 510 µJ and 890 µJ. In addition, a theoretical model of double-pass amplification was established to analyze the effect of the delay time on the double-pass amplified 46.9 nm laser.
