The energy parameters of a large-aperture prism active mirror
Abstract
The basic energy parameters of an active-mirror amplifier are measured. Rectangular prisms made of LGS59 neodymium glass were used as active elements in the amplifier. The efficiency of the conversion of pump energy into the energy stored in the active medium amounted to 3 percent, the gain nonuniformity over the aperture being less than 12 percent.
