Rhodium-doped barium titanate phase-conjugate mirror for an all-solid-state, high-repetition-rate, diode-pumped Nd:YAG master-oscillator power amplifier laser
1998
Self-pumped phase conjugation in infrared-sensitive photorefractive
rhodium-doped barium titanate (Rh:BaTiO3) is
investigated with a kilohertz-repetition-rate, diode-pumped Nd:YAG
laser. We also demonstrate the operation of a diode-pumped Nd:YAG
master-oscillator power-amplifier system with such a compact and
solid-state phase-conjugate mirror for wave-front restoration. We
obtain near-diffraction-limited output pulses of 20-mJ energy at a
repetition rate of 200 Hz and a 1-min response time of the
phase-conjugate mirror. The performances of the
Rh:BaTiO3 crystal are compared with those obtained with a
conventional Brillouin mirror.
