Abstract

An improvement of the output energy of a multistage YAG laser system by using a stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) phase conjugation mirror (PCM) was achieved. The phase conjugation of the optically nonlinear SBS process in a liquid material effectively compensated thermal degradation at an average/peak power amplifier, resulting in an average power increase from 1.5 J at 30 Hz repetition rate to 2.6 J at 50 Hz drive. The beam quality was also recovered without wave front deformation and depolarization resulting in a transfer-limited divergence with a good flat-top pattern in a near field.
