High Power Laser System

The 12-beam, photodisssociative iodine laser system ISKRA V has been built for laser fusion research. In this article we describe the optical scheme, elements and parameters of the output radiation. Pulse power of 100 TW was achieved in the preliminary experiments.

System Average

Aluminum flyer with thickness of 50μm and diameter of 1mm had been driven successfully by high-power Nd:Glass laser system. Average speed of the flyer was detected by piezoelectric Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) transducer, which reached 6.67km/s. Extent of damage to protective materials of spacecrafts was studied after they were hit by the driven aluminum flyer. The protective materials of spacecraft were damaged structurally in our experiment, and the damage observed under the microscope was also shown. It could be seen that the flyer knocked a tiny hole with diameter of about 1mm in the protective cellular board, and there were traces of impact damage around the tiny hole, which indicated that protective materials of spacecrafts would be damaged structurally when they were hit by flyer with size of 1mm. At the same time, the hyperspeed flyer still had good integrity and flatness. The results showed that laser-shockwave-driven hyperspeed flyer technology could be used as an effective experiment means to simulate high-speed space particles, which made it feasible to establish a set of simulation device of laser-shockwave-driven hyperspeed flyer for the research of protective materials of spacecrafts on the ground.

A high-power, Joule-class, nanosecond temporally shaped multi-pass ring laser amplifier system with two neodymium-doped phosphate glass (Nd:glass) laser heads is demonstrated. The laser amplifier system consists of three parts: an all-fiber structure seeder, a diode-pumped Nd:glass regenerative amplifier and a multi-pass ring amplifier, where the thermally induced depolarization of two laser heads is studied experimentally and theoretically. Following the injection of a square pulse with the pulse energy of 0.9 mJ and pulse width of 6 ns, a 0.969-J high-energy laser pulse at 1 Hz was generated, which had the ability to change the waveform arbitrarily, based on the all-fiber structure front end. The experimental results show that the proposed laser system is promising to be adopted in the preamplifier of high-power laser facilities.
