Hybrid Master Oscillator Power Amplifier System Providing 10 Mj, 32 W, And 50 Mw Pulses For Optical Parametric Chirped-Pulse Amplification Pumping

Abstract

We present a high-energy, high-average-power picosecond laser system based on a hybrid chain in a master oscillator power amplifier configuration. The chain is seeded by a Ti:sapphire oscillator, followed by a Ybdoped fiber preamplifier, a Nd:YAG-based regenerate amplifier, and a Nd:YVO4-based single-pass amplifier. The final diode-pumped, solid-state amplifier is detailed and produces pulses with more than 10 mJ energy at 32Waverage power with 207 ps duration, corresponding to 50MWpeak power. The picosecond pulse output is seeded and optically synchronized with the sub-5-fs oscillator for optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification pumping. © 2013 Optical Society of America.
