Abstract
A novel bidirectional ring amplifier with twin pulses for high-power lasers is proposed, and the performances on output energy capability and extraction efficiency are comprehended with detailed simulation. The results show that an extraction efficiency of 62.3% and the output energy of 13.4 kJ per pulse at the B integral limit can be obtained at low average fluence of 10.3 J/cm2 and the low injection energy of 3.9 mJ in the bidirectional ring amplifier. Compared with the multi-pass amplifier, the bidirectional ring amplifier is more compact and the extraction efficiency is much higher at low injection energy and low laser fluence operation, which is beneficial to simplify the preamplifier system and reduce the effects of nonlinear phase shift.
