Characteristics of beam alignment in a high power four-pass laser amplifier
Abstract
Beam alignment is used to control the pointing, rotation, and position of a beam automatically. We give an overview of the beam alignment system for a four-pass amplifier system. The coupling relationships between dependent quantities and deviations thereof for parameters of key optical elements are analyzed using matrix optics techniques. The rotation characteristics of a near field are discussed. The characteristics of the four-pass adjustment in the cavity spatial filter are shown and the output characteristics are provided. Finally, we develop an adjustment procedure.参考文献原文>R. A. Zacharias, N. R. Beer, E. S. Bliss, S. C. Burkhart, S. J. Cohen, S. B. Sutton, R. L. Van Atta, S. E. Winters, J. T. Salmon, M. R. Latta, C. J.
