Innozag amplifier: optimizing the Innoslab platform to improve beam quality and gain
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This study presents an innovative zigzag-type Innoslab amplifier platform, termed 'Innozag,' that merges the essential attributes of both Innoslab and zigzag slab amplifiers. A thorough theoretical and experimental examination has been performed to analyze and compare the gain and amplified beam wavefront distortion of the Innoslab and Innozag amplifiers. Our investigation includes detailed optical path difference computation coupled with examination of the far-field amplified beam profile. The results confirm that the Innozag amplifier reduces the thermally induced wave distortion by up to 40%. Geometric features, particularly the overlapping zones in the zigzag path, increase the gain of the Innozag amplifier. The Innozag design achieves an amplification factor 1.4 times greater than that of the Innoslab amplifier in a five-pass structure.
