Abstract

The theory for Gaussian beam pulse propagation in a zigzag slab amplifier with a Gaussian pump distribution is detailed. Provisions are made for amplification of an input signal with an elliptical Gaussian spatial mode by modifying the time-dependent photon transport equations as described by Eggleston Frantz, and Injeyan. A comparison is made with experimental results of a diode-side-pumped zigzag slab amplifier element amplifying a near-Gaussian beam.
