研究目的
Investigating the power-scaling potential of nonlinear-mirror modelocked thin-disk lasers to achieve higher output average and peak powers while maintaining stability against Q-switching instabilities.
研究成果
The power-scaled NLM-modelocked TDL achieved significant improvements in output average and peak powers, demonstrating the potential for further scaling. Stable modelocking regimes were identified, offering insights into avoiding Q-switching instabilities.
研究不足
The study is limited by the need to operate the NLM device with a non-zero phase mismatch to avoid Q-switching instabilities, which may affect the efficiency of the nonlinear reflectivity.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study focuses on scaling the power of NLM-modelocked TDLs by optimizing the NLM device and cavity design.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The experiment uses an Yb:YAG disk pumped at 940 nm.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Includes a 1 mm-thick LBO crystal, a dichroic OC, and a SESAM with a modulation depth of
4:7%. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The NLM device's operation point is adjusted via a telescope extension to vary the mode size on the LBO crystal. The NLM device is operated with a non-zero phase mismatch to mitigate Q-switching instabilities.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The performance is evaluated based on output power, pulse duration, and repetition rate.
