Applications of Brillouin cells to high repetition rate solid-state lasers

Abstract

A review is given of possible applications for Brillouin cells in solid-state lasers operating at higher pulse repetition frequencies. Brillouin cells are used to reduce beam divergence, improve intensity distribution in the near field, and provide phase locking of light beams pulse compression, and pulse shape control.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
