Modelling And Simulation Of Large Solid State Laser Systems

Abstract: The role of numerical methods to simulate the several physical processes (e.g., diffraction, self-focusing, gain saturation) that are involved in coherent beam propagation through large laser systems is discussed.A comprehensive simulation code for modeling the pertinent physical phenomena observed in laser operations (growth of small -scale modulation, spatial filter, imaging, gain saturation and beam -induced damage) is described in some detail. Comparisons between code results and solid state laser output p… Show more

“…The on-axis fluence of this beam is six times the average fluence calculated by the energy divided by the clear aperture. A further safety factor of 1.8 is assumed 13 to allow for modulation (due to diffraction from surface scratches, etc.) on the beam.…”
