Abstract
We demonstrate a single frequency 1064 nm master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system operating in macro-micro pulse scheme. The repetition rate for the macro pulses was 300 Hz with pulse duration of 300 μs. Micro pulses operated at 25 kHz. The master laser was a single-longitudinal-mode electro-optically Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with an output power of 250 mW and pulse duration of 33 ns. Three stages of power amplifiers based on Nd:YAG single crystal fiber and rods were designed. The final output power reached 31.3 W with pulse duration of 30 ns and linewidth of less than 130 MHz. Micro pulse energy of 13.9 mJ was obtained with a peak power of up to 464 kW. The beam quality factors (M2) were measured to be 1.56 and 1.76 in horizontal and vertical directions, respectively.
