我们报告新的，简单而有效的多程放大器，使用棱镜或角隅棱镜在不同的入射面执行几个通道。该方案提供了信号通道和泵送体积之间的优化重叠。我们研究了我们的放大几何与Nd：YAG和Nd：YVO4晶体：使用低掺杂（0.3%）Nd：YVO4晶体允许更好的热行为和更高的性能。我们放大了一个脉冲微激光器（110 mW的平均功率在1064 nm），并获得了衍射极限输出光束的平均功率为5.7 W的15 W的泵浦功率和小信号增益为56 dB的六通配置。
We report on new, simple and efficient multipass amplifiers using prisms or corner cubes to perform several passes in different planes of incidence. This scheme provides an optimised overlap between the signal passes and the pumped volume. We investigated our amplification geometry with Nd:YAG and Nd:YVO4crystals: the use of a low-doped (0.3%) Nd:YVO4crystal allowed better thermal behaviour and higher performance. We amplified a pulsed microlaser (110 mW of average power at 1064 nm) and obtained a diffraction-limited output beam with an average power of 5.7 W for 15 W of pump power and a small-signal gain of 56 dB in a six-pass configuration.
