Abstract

We have succeeded in the amplification of semiconductor laser to kilowatt pulses by using a two-stage dye laser amplifier system pumped by a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser. The signal-to-noise ratio of the overall system was about 90 and the overall amplification was of the order of 105. We also investigated the lower limit of input power that can be successfully amplified by a dye cell amplifier. We show that this is a few milliwatts or less, and confirm the feasibility of semiconductor laser amplification by dye cell.
