Abstract:A method for optical pump scheme optimization for a laser gain module with pulsed diode arrays for Nd:YAG rods (Ø10 × 130 mm & Ø10 × 160 mm) is presented. The goal is to maximize the small-signal gain of the laser gain module while maintaining a flat-top amplification profile. A possible way of the overall small-signal gain reduction due to amplified spontaneous emission is discussed and a method to deal with this phenomenon is given. As a result of optical pump scheme optimization, the gain module with the ma… Show more
