2-kW Average Power CW Phase-Conjugate Solid-State Laser

We report the first demonstration of a kW-class CW-input solid-state phase-conjugate master oscillator, power amplifier system. The 2-kW Yb:YAG system included a 200 W loop phase-conjugate mirror, and it produced a nearly diffraction-limited output beam.
