Advantages to a diverging Raman amplifier
- Abstract:
-
The plasma Raman instability can efficiently compress a nanosecond long high power laser pulse to sub-picosecond duration. Although many authors envisaged a converging beam geometry for Raman amplification, here we propose the exact opposite geometry; the amplification should start at the intense focus of the seed. We generalise the coupled laser envelope equations to include this non-collimated case. The new geometry completely eradicates the usual trailing secondary peaks of the output puls...
