Nd:YAG oscillator amplifier system with a passive ring self-pumped phase-conjugate mirror.
A ring self-pumped phase-conjugate mirror with rhodium-doped barium titanate is used to correct aberrations in a laser-diode-pumped zigzag slab Nd:YAG oscillator-amplifier system. A diffraction-limited output of 360 mJ is achieved in a 36-ns pulse duration at a repetition rate of 100 Hz.
