Abstract
We report a high average power and high pulse energy diode-pumped Nd:glass master oscillator power amplifier system that is consisted of a thermally-edge-controlled zigzag slab amplifier and stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) mirror for use of pumping source of ultra intense laser system. This phase conjugated system produces an average power of 213 W at 10 Hz in 8.9-ns pulse (2.4 GW peak power) with an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 11.7 % and a near diffraction limited beam quality. To the best of our knowledge these results represent the highest average power achieved from a Nd:glass based laser amplifier system.
