CLIN 0001: Diode Pumped Solid State Laser Gain Module

The Diode Pumped Solid State Laser Gain Module must meet the following specifications:

Nd:YAG rod gain modules, 4 each, to use in building a laser system.

1) Gain module containing an Nd:YAG crystalline or ceramic rod doped with approximately 0.6% Neodymium. The rod should be about 2 mm in diameter and 60 - 65 mm in length. The ends of the rod should be flat and anti-reflection (AR) coated for a wavelength of 1319 nm.

2) The rod is expected to be pumped as uniformly as possible around its circumference by laser diode bars emitting at an appropriate wavelength as determined by the manufacturer.

3) The gain module is expected to have connections for electrical power to drive the diode bars, and connections for coolant flow in and out of the module.

4) The output of one gain module in a laser cavity is expected to be 10 - 20 Watts at 1319 nm.

5) We would like the lowest electrical and optical noise possible in the gain module and the characteristics leading to the best beam quality possible. The gain module will be used to generate a laser beam in a TEM00 mode.
