Abstract
Combined with the advantages of the narrow bandwidth of a non-planar ring oscillator seed laser and the structure of a direct pumped Innoslab amplifier, a high-efficiency and high-power continuous-wave (CW) single-frequency laser was obtained by densely folding the seed laser beam in an Innoslab amplifier with a wedged multi-folded configuration. A maximum output power of 83.4 W of a single-frequency amplifier with a bandwidth of 17.69 kHz was obtained under a pump power of 234 W, corresponding to an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 33.2%. The beam quality factor M2 at the maximum output power in horizontal and vertical directions was measured to be 1.15 and 1.24, respectively. The long-term power instability in 2 h was less than 1.63%.
