Abstract
In this study, a 100-kHz narrow-linewidth burst-mode laser system combined with a master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) structure was reported with a stable pulse burst profile over 2 ms duration. A theoretical model was established to characterize and compensate the variation characteristics of coefficient of variation (COV) within a burst envelope for the double-pass three-stage amplification system, in terms of different parameter factors. Simulated results yielded similar tendency with the measured ones. For a stable burst envelope with a COV of 2.72% and 2.93%, output pulse energy at a 100 kHz repetition rate was scaled up to 1.08 and 4.38 mJ in the case of an input average pulse energy of 8.6 and 116.51 nJ, respectively. Corresponding Mx2 and My2 values with 2.2 and 2.4 were endowed with 1.08 mJ output single-pulse energy and 2.7 and 2.1 for 4.38 mJ pulse energy. The spectral linewidth of amplified pulses was measured to be less than 83.1 and 67.9 MHz, with respect to output pulse duration of 10.3 and 96.1 ns, respectively.
