Abstract
A laser system for producing short optical pulses with higher energy and controllable shape from a high power solid state laser system. The system includes two gratings at the output with an adjustable interferometer between the laser source and an amplifier element. Thus, the output pulse may be tailored to a particular shape.
Claims8
An optical pulse compression and shaping system;
- which comprises,
- an interferometer for receiving radiation from a radiation pulse source,
- a laser amplifier in the optical path of radiation emerging from said interferometer, and
- a pair of gratings in optical alignment with each other and the output radiation path of said laser amplifier.
