Abstract

We demonstrated a sub-nanosecond burst-mode MOPA Nd:YAG laser at 1.06 µm that consists of a cavity-dumped Q-switched master oscillator and a double-pass side-pumped amplification system. During the 1 kHz burst-mode operation, outputs with the single pulse energy of 29.8 mJ were obtained within the burst duration of 100 ms. The pulse width was 900 ps, which resulted in a peak power of 33.1 MW. During the 10 Hz operation, the single pulse energy reached 81 mJ with a pulse width of 900 ps, which resulted in a peak power of 90 MW.
