A cryogenic Yb:YAG composite-thin-disk amplifier produced one-joule diffraction limited pulses at 200 Hz and 50% optical-to-optical efficiency. As of this writing 20 hours in operation have been compiled recording < 0.5%-power and <30 µrad pointing stability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
