  • Abstract
    In this work, we report the amplification of laser pulses from a near diffraction limited, passively Q-switched Nd:YAG master oscillator (0.58 mJ, 1.2 ns at 0.5 kHz) up to 52-mJ in a Nd:YVO4 preamplifier and two diode pumped boost YAG-amplifiers, whilst preserving pulse duration, beam quality and linear polarization.
