Abstract

We present results on the development of a cryogenic Yb:YAG multi-pass laser amplifier based on a composite thin-disk design and demonstrate one-joule, diffraction limited, chirped 234-ps pulses with 50% optical-to-optical efficiency. High beam quality was obtained for repetition rates up to 400 Hz. The hardware was disassembled and thoroughly inspected after accumulating 80 hours of use at repetition rates from 100 to 500 Hz and exhibited no signs of damage. This laser driver is now commissioned to a dedicated laboratory where a grating compressor is producing 5.2-ps pulses used in the development of a compact x ray source based on inverse Compton scattering.
