Description/Abstract
By pulse-slicing from a cw laser output and then providing high gain amplification, one can obtain quasi-cw pulses at powers well in excess of those available from cw lasers. The use of this is demonstrated with a cw, additive-pulse-mode-locked Nd:YLF laser. Mode-locked pulse trains with an envelope of ~10µsec duration and repetition rate of 2kHz are amplified in a x20 gain, double-pass Nd:YLF bulk amplifier pumped by a 4W diode. Amplified power levels allow efficient single-pass frequency doubling in LBO followed by efficient synchronous pumping of an LBO optical parametric oscillator.
