3 Continuing Interest in High Power with Good Beam Quality Applications continue to drive interest in high power with good beam quality and high efficiency Diode lasers with near-diffraction-limited output are Watt-class devices Incoherent combination of arrays have enabled diode-laser systems with multi-kw output, but with poor beam quality Beam combining approaches that enable arrays to have good beam quality (high power and brightness) are becoming viable after decades of trying IEEE 12-3.ppt
4 Brightness and Beam Quality Key beam quantities are the area of the beam A and its farfield solid-angle divergence W AW l 2 Brightness (radiance) is power per unit area per unit solid angle B = P/(AW) ~ P/(M 2 l) 2 For ideal Gaussian, B = P/l 2 Good beam quality and high brightness give highest power on target for a given aperture A Laser Beam Propagation 2q W = πq 2 Beam Quality Definitions in Common Use M 2 = 1 is an ideal Gaussian (M 2 1) Strehl ratio = 1 is an ideal tophat (S 1) Power in the bucket (PITB) ~ M 2 Fiber étendue AW = π 2 D 2 (NA) 2 / 4 S ~ 1/(PITB) 2 ~ 1/(M 2 ) 2 IEEE 12-4.ppt
