    Abstract: An optical arrangement includes a disk-shaped laser-active medium configured to create an optical gain upon being pumped within a pump volume, and a laser beam incoupler for input coupling a laser beam as a seed laser beam into the laser-active medium. The laser beam interacts with the laser-active medium. The optical arrangement further includes an auxiliary resonator for creating an auxiliary resonator radiation field. The auxiliary resonator radiation field interacts with the laser-active medium. The auxiliary resonator is configured to suppress at least one mode of the auxiliary resonator radiation field that overlaps with at least one mode of the laser beam in the pump volume.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for beam wavelength stabilization and output beam combining in dense wavelength multiplexing (DWM) systems. Systems and methods are described for performing beam wavelength stabilization and output beam combining in DWM systems while achieving increased wall-plug efficiency and enhanced beam quality. Interferometric external resonator configurations can be used to greatly increase the brightness of DWM system output beams by stabilizing the wavelengths of the beams emitted by the emitters of the DWM laser source. The resonant cavities described by the present disclosure provide advantages over the prior art in the form of decreased cost, increased wall plug efficiency and increased output beam quality. Particular implementations of the disclosure achieve increased wall plug efficiency and increased output beam quality through a combination of innovative cavity designs and the utilization of reflection diffraction elements for beam combining.

    Abstract: A fiber amplification system is provided for amplifying a laser pulse signal, e.g., an oscillator signal of an oscillator device. The fiber amplification system includes a fiber pre-amplification system having a short, fundamental-mode and step-index fiber configured to pre-amplify the laser pule signal to generate a seed signal and a main amplification system having a large core fiber configured to amplify the seed signal. The short, fundamental-mode step-index fiber can have a length no longer than about 30 cm, and a mode field diameter no less than about 30 μm, e.g., in a range from 30 μm to 60 μm, as well as a high doping concentration needed to provide an absorption length no more than about 30 cm, for providing the seed signal for the large core fiber with low non-linearity.
