Amplified spontaneous emission and power amplification in high-power DF laser systems Download: 517次
Abstract
Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) always occurs in high-power DF laser systems with master oscillator-power amplifier (MOPA) configuration. ASE not only reduces the energy extraction efficiency of the laser system, but also negatively influences its heat management. The interaction between the ASE flux and the coherent laser flux, as well as the effect of ASE on cuboid DF amplifiers, is studied using a finite difference method and an iterative arithmetic. In addition, the influence of ASE on coherent laser amplification is discussed in detail.
