Abstract
We report on the generation of high energy, high power pulses in a tabletop diode-pumped Tm:YLF-based laser system, which delivers amplified pulse energies up to 108 J, as well as GW peak power performance when seeded with nanosecond duration pulses. Furthermore, the high power and efficiency capabilities of operating Tm:YLF in the multi-pulse extraction (MPE) regime were explored by seeding the experimental setup with a multi-kHz burst of pulses exhibiting a low individual pulse fluence, resulting in a 3.6 kW average power train of multi-joule-level pulses with an optical-to-optical efficiency of 19%.
