We report on a 1 kHz, 515 nm laser system, based on a commercially available 230 W average power Yb:YAG thin-disk regenerative amplifier, developed for pumping one of the last optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) stages of the Allegra laser system at ELI Beamlines. To avoid problems with self-focusing of picosecond pulses, the 1030 nm output pulses are compressed and frequency doubled with an LBO crystal in vacuum. Additionally, development of a thermal management system was needed to ensure stable phase matching conditions at high average power. The resulting 515 nm pulses have an energy of more than 120 mJ with SHG efficiency of 60% and an average RMS stability of 1.1% for more than 8 h.
In this study, the temperature measurement system is designed and experimentally performed with a single and array Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) based temperature sensor. A 1532.032 nm seramic plated and a 1536.674 nm metal plated FBG sensors are used. The temperatures of the single and array sensors are changed between 30ºC to 100ºC and optic signal variations at the output are investigated with used swept laser technique. Consequently, temperatures are measured accurate and fast with the precision of 0.5ºC.
