Abstract:We demonstrate a master oscillator power amplifier system that emits single-frequency, high-energy optical pulses at 1539 nm using an Er,Yb:glass planar waveguide amplifier with a normalized frequency of a waveguide of 4.4. A maximum pulse energy of 9.7 mJ is observed at a repetition frequency of 500 Hz. The signal to noise ratio is 25 dB and is independent of the repetition frequency from 100 Hz to 500 Hz. A beam quality factor M2 of the output is 1.03 at 9.7 mJ thanks to its small normalized frequency of the… Show more
