AbstractThe beam combination method using stimulated Brillouin scattering phase conjugate mirrors (SBS-PCMs) is a promising technique for a high energy and high power laser output operating with a high repetition rate. The two-beam combined system was previously demonstrated with an amplitude dividing method. A four-beam combined laser system with amplitude dividing method is demonstrated in this work, and the phase stabilization experiment of this system is performed using the self phase control and the long-term stabilization technique. The phase differences between the SBS waves are stabilized with λ/30 and the fluctuation of the four-beam combined output energy is 6.16% during 2000 shots (200 s).

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.
