High beam quality 5 J, 200 Hz Nd:YAG laser system

A high beam quality, all-solid-state Nd:YAG laser system of high-repetition frequency has been built for Thomson scattering diagnosis. A 1.7 times diffraction limited output beam at a pulse energy of 5 J at 1064 nm is achieved for the rst time with a pulse duration of 6.6 ns (FWHM) and a repetition...

Description
Summary:A high beam quality, all-solid-state Nd:YAG laser system of high-repetition frequency has been built for Thomson scattering diagnosis. A 1.7 times diffraction limited output beam at a pulse energy of 5 J at 1064 nm is achieved for the rst time with a pulse duration of 6.6 ns (FWHM) and a repetition rate of 200 Hz; the output energy stability is 4.9% peak-to-valley over 6000 shots.
