Northrop Grumman-Cutting Edge Optronics releases 7.5 J laser amplifier
The REA25412-45P300 pumps a 1-inch diameter Nd:YAG laser rod with more than 400 QCW laser diode bars, produces more than 9 J of gain switched energy and more than 7.5 J of stored energy. With a gain uniformity profile less than 10% edge-to-center variation and a small signal gain of >10, this amplifier module provides ultra-stable performance over more than 10 billion shots at repetition rates in excess of 40Hz. Driven by the company’s eDrive laser diode driver, it is reportedly one of the largest commercially available diode pumped laser amplifiers in the world.
