title: Power scaling of a pico-second Nd:YVO(4) master-oscillator power amplifier with a phase-conjugate mirror.
abstract: We investigated design issues for the power scaling of a pico-second Nd:YVO(4) master-oscillator power amplifier system with a photorefractive phase-conjugate mirror by using standard beam propagation analysis. We also demonstrated a 25 W diffraction-limited pico-second output. A corresponding extraction efficiency of 31 % was achieved.
