AbstractAbstract
[en] A new method for cooling and thermal stabilisation of Faraday rotators using Peltier elements is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The scheme of thermal stabilisation of the magnetooptical elements ensures reliable operation of the device at the absorbed power ∼2 W, which corresponds to the transmitted laser radiation power 1.5 kW. The results of the work make it possible to predict high efficiency of this method at the laser power of tens of kilowatts.

AbstractAbstract
[en] A Nd:YLF laser emitting 2-ns pulses synchronised with a femtosecond Cr:forsterite laser is built. The pulse duration and synchronisation are ensured by two Pockels cells, in which voltage pulses are synchronised with the femtosecond laser by fast emitter-coupled logic elements. One of the Pockels cells ensures Q-switching, while the other cuts a short pulse from a 15-ns Q-switched pulse. The experimental results show that the two-step scheme proposed for synchronisation of a Q-switched laser and a passively mode-locked laser provides quite simple and reliable synchronisation of these lasers with a jitter of a few tens of picoseconds.

AbstractAbstract
[en] A Faraday isolator is described in which thermal effects are suppressed by cooling down to liquid nitrogen temperatures. The principal scheme, main characteristics and modifications of the isolator are presented. The isolation degree is studied experimentally for the subkilowatt average laser radiation power. It is shown that the isolator can be used at radiation powers up to tens of kilowatts. (quantum electronic devices)

AbstractAbstract
[en] A Faraday isolator with an aperture of 20 mm and compensation of thermally induced polarization and phase distortions of laser radiation is fabricated and tested experimentally. A considerable improvement in the isolation degree over a traditional Faraday isolator is demonstrated. For radiation power up to 750 W, the isolation degree lies in the range 24-26 dB and is limited only by the quality of TGG crystals. (laser devices and elements)

AbstractAbstract
[en] It is shown that a quartz crystal, which is placed inside a telescope and whose optic axis is parallel to a light beam, can reduce the depolarisation of radiation caused by thermally induced birefringence in a Faraday isolator. The isolation ratio was experimentally increased by a factor of eight. An important advantage of this method over previous methods is that standard commercial Faraday rotators can be used.

AbstractAbstract
[en] A five-stage neodymium phosphate glass amplifier producing 1-1.5-ns radiation pulses of energy up to 110 J is described. The use of a multistage spatial filter based on an aperture line provides efficient extraction of the stored energy. The exit aperture filling factor is 0.65 and the output radiation divergence is equal to three times the diffraction-limited divergence. The energy efficiency of radiation conversion to the second harmonic is 60%. The amplifier is intended for pumping a chirped-pulse optical parametric amplifier. (lasers)

AbstractAbstract
[en] A wide-aperture Pockels cell based on a DKDP crystal having an optical diameter of 70 mm is studied. Three silver ring electrodes deposited on the side surface of the crystal were used to apply a high-voltage rectangular pulse of variable duration from 50 to 150 ns to the cell. Chains of KT6117A (2N5551) transistors operating in the avalanche regime served as fast electron switches. The duration of the leading and trailing edges of the pulse formed by these switches did not exceed 15 ns. The nonuniformity of the transmission coefficient over the cross section of the cell caused by the inhomogeneity of the electric field inside the crystal was close to 3.5%.

AbstractAbstract
[en] A laser system is designed for operation with a photocathode electron gun for a linear accelerator with the following parameters of radiation at a wavelength of 262 nm (the fourth harmonic of a Nd:YLF laser). The pulse trains (macropulses) with a repetition rate of 5 Hz and a duration of 900 μs consist of 8-ps micropulses with an energy of 1.4 μJ and a repetition rate of 2.708 MHz. This repetition rate is variable within ±32 kHz and is stabilised by an external signal with an accuracy of 10 Hz. Due to the use of a feedback-controlled acousto-optic modulator, the root-mean-square deviation of the micropulse energy in the first and second harmonics is 2.5% and 3.6%, respectively. Using the decaying branch of the dependence of the second-to-fourth harmonic conversion efficiency on the second harmonic intensity, we decreased the root-mean-square deviation of the energy of the fourth-harmonic micropulses to 2.3% at the first-to-fourth harmonic conversion efficiency of 27%.
