We have designed a compact solid compressor by stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), which consists of two right angle prisms and a fused silica glass block. A 13–16 ns Nd:YAG laser pulse has been temporally compressed to 1 ns or less phase conjugation pulse in a fused-quartz and fused-silica glass at four different wavelengths. Maximum reflectivity of SBS was 90–95% without damage. The brightness of the compressed pulse was about ten-fold higher than that of the incident pulse. Damage-free operation using fused quartz glass as a better phase conjugation material could lead to the construction of a more compact, laser-diode-pumped, and all-solid-state laser system.
