Abstract

In the high-power laser facility, frequency modulation to amplitude modulation (FM-to-AM) effects has seriously affected the power balance between beams and restricted the laser flux levels of safe operation in the system. For FM-to- AM effects produced by gain-narrowing effects, according to the amplifier gain-narrowing function model, after simulating and analyzing the properties of FM-to-AM effects, a corresponding compensation function is designed. Using sinusoidal compensation function, with the use of a birefringent crystal and liquid crystal modulator, adjusting the crystal angle in the range of 45 °, the center wavelength could be reduced in the magnitude of the range from 0 to 30dBm. By changing the voltage of the liquid crystal, the center wavelength could be adjusted within 1051.5-1054.5nm freely. For the regenerative amplifier with the gain of 70dB and input center wavelength of 1053nm and bandwidth of 0.7nm, the output FM-to-AM magnitude could be controlled within ~11% by this compensation system.
