Treat the infrared amplifier output and final visible laser output as different operating planes. The reported scaling points describe amplifier technology; the seed, pump chain and conversion stage must be specified separately.
Configuration options
| Reference operating point | Infrared wavelength | Reported infrared power |
|---|---|---|
| Earlier amplifier reference | 1178 nm | 40 W |
| Higher-power amplifier reference | 1178 nm | 130 W |
Technical details
- Architecture
- Polarization-maintaining fibre amplification
- Pump-chain reference
- 1064 nm and 1120 nm pump lasers
- Conversion path
- Second-harmonic generation from 1178 nm to 589 nm
- Seed linewidth and amplifier gain
- Numerical limits to confirm
Integration and delivery
- System boundary
- Seed, pump delivery, amplifier and visible conversion stage must be defined
Conditions and configuration notes
- The 130 W value is an infrared amplifier reference, not a 589 nm output-power claim.
- The historical 40 W and higher-power 130 W references are different configurations, not a continuously adjustable guaranteed range.
- Confirm whether an amplifier-only assembly is available and which ancillary stages are included.
Applications to discuss
- Guide-star laser development
