Ultrafast green thin-disk laser exceeding 1.4 kW of average power

Opt Lett. 2020 Oct 1;45(19):5522-5525. doi: 10.1364/OL.403781.

Abstract

We present an ultrafast laser with a near-diffraction-limited beam quality delivering more than 1.4 kW of average power in the visible spectral range. The laser is based on second harmonic generation in a lithium triborate crystal of a Yb:YAG thin-disk multipass amplifier emitting more than 2 kW of average power in the infrared.
