Abstract

The spectrum characteristic of cryogenic has been investigated and the cryogenic Yb:YAG amplification has been developing. As the temperature decreases, the stimulated emission cross section increasing rapidly with the center wavelength becoming short and the gain spectrum bandwidth narrowed. A diode-pumped cryogenic Yb:YAG regenerative amplifier at 10Hz repetition rate has been carrying out. Temperature of the Yb: YAG crystal has been controlled between 185K and 190K. A ~100 pJ optical pulse with 10 ns time duration and 10 Hz repetition rate at 1030 nm wavelength is inject into the regenerative amplifier. ~10.5 mJ output energy at 10 Hz from the regenerative amplifier with a square-pulse distortion of ~1.5 and an output-pulse-energy fluctuation of 7% was achieved.
