High power/energy high repetition rate mono-module disk laser
V V Apollonov
Prokhorov General Physics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia
The mono-module disk laser concept is an effective design for diode-pumped solid-state lasers, which allows the realization
of lasers with super-high output energy/power, having very good efficiency and also excellent beam quality. Since the first
demonstration by acad. N.G. Basov with colleagues of disk laser in 1966 the output power of mono-module disk has been
increased to the level of few kW in Continuous Wave (CW) mode of operation. Well developed “Zig-Zag” disk laser technology
does not look like as a perspective one for further output parameters growing. The scaling laws for mono-module disk laser
design show that the limits for CW mode of operation is far beyond 100 kW for output power and the energy can be higher
than 100 J in pulse-periodic mode of operation. Due to the efficient porous cooling technology and possibility of amplified
spontaneous emission (ASE) suppressing the operation of the big size mono-module disk laser geometry is possible in CW and
pulse-periodic (P-P) modes at extremely high output energy/power.
