我们报告了一种新的放大器配置概念的10千瓦的激光系统使用的锯齿形光路的基础上，低温Yb：YAG全反射有源镜（TRAM）激光器。激光材料是一种紧凑的复合陶瓷，其中三个Yb：YAG TRAM串联组合以增加输出功率。输出功率高达214 W，斜率效率为63%，已被证明为CW操作，即使在一个相当低的泵浦强度小于170 W/cm 2。进一步缩放可以实现超过10千瓦的输出功率。
We report on a novel amplifier configuration concept for a 10 kW laser system using a zig-zag optical path based on a cryogenic Yb:YAG Total-Reflection Active-Mirror (TRAM) laser. The laser material is a compact composite ceramic, in which three Yb:YAG TRAMs are combined in series to increase the output power. Output powers of up to 214 W with a slope efficiency of 63% have been demonstrated for CW operation, even at a quite low pump intensity of less than 170 W/cm2. Further scaling could achieve output powers of more than 10 kW.
