Abstract
A high-power compact repetitively pulsed Nd:YAG laser with transverse diode pumping and multiloop self-pumped phase-conjugate cavity is proposed. Pulse trains with an energy of 1.5 J and beam quality parameter of M 2 ≤ 1.2 are generated at a divergence of 0.4 mrad and luminance of 5 × 1014 W/(cm2 sr). The peak power of single-frequency pulses is greater than 15 MW at an energy of 170 mJ and a laser bandwidth of 300 MHz.
