Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Novel spatial and spectral control of solid-state lasers based on 3-D holographic gain-gratings will be developed. The theory and physics of gain holography will be studied. Analytical gain volume-hologram theory and a numerical transient 3-D nonlinear grating diffraction code will be developed. Self-adaptive holographic lasers will be constructed and studied for TEMoo, single-longitudinal-mode and pulsed operation of high energy Nd:YAG lasers without requirement of any conventional Q-switching or intracavity line narrowing elements. A full experimental spatial, spectral and energy study of holographic resonators will be conducted. This technology will be transferred from Nd:YAG to laser-pumped Ti:sapphire to generate broadly tunable, narrow line width, pulsed operation at high-energy.
