Single-mode pulse-periodic oscillator–amplifier system with wavefront reversal

Abstract

The shielding of an ion by an electron gas is considered. For electrons at the Fermi level, phase shifts and phase shift gradients in energy are evaluated for 24 elements and for k , (in atomic units) in the range (0.2, 1.2).

Trends in stimulated Brillouin scattering and optical phase conjugation

“…Trends in stimulated Brillouin scattering and optical phase conjugation important tool for improving the performance of high power laser systems (Borisov et al, 1983;Dane et al, 1994b;Eichler et al, 1997b;Kappe et al, 2007;Kong et al, 2005aKong et al, , 2005bKong et al, , 2006Kong et al, , 2007Rockwell, 1988;Sumida et al, 1994;Yoshida et al, 1997aYoshida et al, , 1997bYoshida et al, , 1999aYoshida et al, , 1999bYoshida et al, , 2003aYoshida et al, , 2003bZubarev et al, 1980). SBS can provide generation and amplification of laser light, processing of the beam profiles, temporal transformation of the laser pulse (isolation, fast switching, shortening, and compression), and frequency control of the laser pulse (narrowing, broadening and shifting).…”

High-repetition-rate laser systems based on a high-energy phase-conjugated multiple-pass amplifier and a low-power oscillator

“…Paper 3020 received Nov. 9,1990; revised manuscript received July 26, 1991 conventional passive optics could be used to direct the laser beam through the rod for the required number of passes. The optimum number of passes was found to be three so that triple-pass, small-signal gain was on the order of 1000.…”
