    Abstract In this paper, we present a model to predict thermal stress-induced birefringence in high energy, high repetition rate diode-pumped Yb:YAG lasers. The model calculates thermal depolarisation as a function of gain medium geometry, pump power, cooling parameters, and input polarisation state. We show that model predictions are in good agreement with experimental observations carried out on a DiPOLE 100 J, 10 Hz laser amplifier. We show that single-pass depolarisation strongly depends on input polarisation state and pumping parameters. In the absence of any depolarisation compensation scheme, depolarisation varies over a range between 5% and 40%. The strong dependence of thermal stress-induced depolarisation on input polarisation indicates that, in the case of multipass amplifiers, the use of waveplates after every pass can reduce depolarisation losses significantly. We expect that this study will assist in the design and optimisation of Yb:YAG lasers.

    Abstract We report on the first demonstration of a diode-pumped, gas cooled, cryogenic multislab Yb:YAG amplifier. The performance was characterized over a temperature range from 88 to 175 K. A maximum small-signal single-pass longitudinal gain of 11.0 was measured at 88 K. When amplifying nanosecond pulses, recorded output energies were 10.1 J at 1 Hz in a four-pass extraction geometry and 6.4 J at 10 Hz in a three-pass setup, corresponding to optical to optical conversion efficiencies of 21% and 16%, respectively. To our knowledge, this represents the highest pulse energy so far obtained from a cryo-cooled Yb-laser and the highest efficiency from a multijoule diode pumped solid-state laser system.

    Abstract The energy required to generate ultrashort pulses with petawatt peak power from a Ti:sapphire laser system is a few tens of joules. To achieve this, the final amplifier must have a gain region of around 5 cm diameter that is uniformly pumped at high fluence. The high level of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) in such an amplifier will seriously degrade its performance unless care is taken to minimise the transverse gain and the internal reflections from the crystal edges. In developing the amplifiers for the Astra Gemini laser system, we have combined the techniques of beam homogenisation and double-pass pumping of a lightly-doped crystal with a new index-matched absorber liquid. Our results demonstrate that this combined approach successfully overcomes the problem of gain depletion by ASE in a high-energy Ti:sapphire amplifier.

    Abstract The Diode Pumped Optical Laser for Experiments (DiPOLE) project at the Central Laser Facility aims to develop a scalable, efficient high pulse energy diode pumped laser amplifier system based on cryogenic gas cooled, multi-slab ceramic Yb:YAG technology. We present recent results obtained from a scaled down prototype laser system designed for operation at 10 Hz pulse repetition rate. At 140 K, the system generated 10.8 J of energy in a 10 ns pulse at 1029.5 nm when pumped by 48 J of diode energy at 940 nm, corresponding to an optical to optical conversion efficiency of 22.5%. To our knowledge, this represents the highest pulse energy obtained from a cryo cooled Yb laser to date and the highest efficiency achieved by a multi-Joule diode pumped solid state laser system. Additionally, we demonstrated shot-to-shot energy stability of 0.85% rms for the system operated at 7 J, 10 Hz during several runs lasting up to 6 hours, with more than 50 hours in total. We also demonstrated pulse shaping capability and report on beam, wavefront and focal spot quality.

    Abstract Temperature dependent absorption and emission cross-sections of 5 at% Yb(3+) doped yttrium lanthanum oxide (Yb:YLO) ceramic between 80K and 300 K are presented. In addition, we report on the first demonstration of ns pulse amplification in Yb:YLO ceramic. A pulse energy of 102 mJ was extracted from a multi-pass amplifier setup. The amplification bandwidth at room temperature confirms the potential of Yb:YLO ceramic for broad bandwidth amplification at cryogenic temperatures.

    Abstract We report on the successful demonstration of a 100 J-level, diode pumped solid state laser based on cryogenic gas cooled, multi-slab ceramic Yb:YAG amplifier technology. When operated at 175 K, the system delivered a pulse energy of 107 J at a 1 Hz repetition rate and 10 ns pulse duration, pumped by 506 J of diode energy at 940 nm, corresponding to an optical-to-optical efficiency of 21%. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the highest energy obtained from a nanosecond pulsed diode pumped solid state laser. This demonstration confirms the energy scalability of the diode pumped optical laser for experiments laser architecture.

    Abstract We have developed a femtosecond high-intensity laser system that combines both Ti:sapphire chirped-pulse amplification (CPA) and optical parametric CPA (OPCPA) techniques and produces more than 30 J broadband output energy, indicating the potential for achieving peak powers in excess of 500 TW. With a cleaned high-energy seeded OPCPA preamplifier as a front end in the system, for the compressed pulse without pumping the final amplifier, we found that the temporal contrast in this system exceeds 10(10) on the subnanosecond time scales, and is near 10(12) on the nanosecond time scale prior to the peak of the main femtosecond pulse. Using diffractive optical elements for beam homogenization of a 100 J level high-energy Nd:glass green pump laser in a Ti:sapphire final amplifier, we have successfully generated broadband high-energy output with a near-perfect top-hat-like intensity distribution.
