73 Grating Convex Mirror Concave Mirror Prism Figure 2.7. Schematic of Offner Stretcher 2. 8. 2. 3. Multistage Amplification The amplification is achieved through a two-step process. The first stage is a regenerative amplifier and the second stage is a multipass amplifier. In both of the amplification stage Ti-S is used as the gain medium. The amplifier used in the present study uses a combination of regenerative amplifier and a multipass amplifier. In a regenerative amplifier the seed pulses from stretcher are chosen and trapped in a cavity for amplification. This is accomplished by a combination of optical isolator, Pockels cell and polarizer. For the purpose of amplification of the seed pulse another laser is required which pumps the gain medium which is Ti-S in the present system. The pump pulse used in the present system is a diode pumped solid state laser which gives a power of 20W. The output produced is a second harmonic of Nd:YLF. YLF is naturally birefringent and can sustain high powers with few kHz repetition rate. The output beam is
74 multimodal and circular. The second harmonic is generated in Lithium triborate (LBO) which is isolated by a dichroic mirror. The diode pump chamber, acousto-optic crystal and LBO are cooled by water maintained ~20C. In the present study the pump laser used is JADE from Thales Lasers. The output energy, wavelength, polarization and repetition rate are 20W, 527nm, horizontal and 1kHz respectively. The pulse width of JADE is ~280ns.The design of JADE laser is described in the figure 2.8. Dichroic Mirror Polarizer LBO Output AO Crystal Polarizer DPCH Figure 2.8. Optical layout of JADE laser used for amplification. Layout of regenerative amplifier is given in the figure 2.9. The amplifier cavity is linear and consists of highly reflective mirrors for 800nm light. The gain medium used in the present system is Ti-S. The regenerative amplifier is pumped by JADE and is seeded by the stretcher output with pulses stretched to hundreds of ps. The polarization of seed pulse from stretcher is horizontal. The seed pulses go through a wave plate and faraday isolator, this
