Design and testing of a large-aperture, high-gain, Brewster 's angle zigzag Nd:glass slab amplifier.
At the University of Rochester we have constructed and tested a large-aperture, (1.0 x 6.5 cm), high-gain (8) Brewster 's angle zigzag Nd:glass amplifier with a repetition rate of 2 Hz. This amplifier has a gain uniformity of +/-3 % and a maximum stress-induced depolarization <2.5 %.
