摘要：
We demonstrated a compact and power-efficient multi-stage pulsed end-pumped amplifier with stabilized output power of 450 W and near-diffraction-limited beam quality (M-2 < 1.2) at a repetition rate of 1 MHz. The pulsed amplifier produced an exceptional average power and optimal beam quality achieved in laser diode (LD) end-pumped Yb:YAG thin rod configuration at room temperature. A preliminary pulse compression with a chirped volume Bragg grating (CVBG) was performed reducing pulse duration to similar to 730 fs at a compression efficiency of 90%. With the combined features, including compactness, reliability, and efficiency, of the end-pumped scheme, the demonstrated laser system would be of great value in both industry and scientific research.
