Power output optimization in complex laser systems by means of polarization control

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Recently, a polarimetric method for thermally-induced polarization change-driven power loss (TIPCL) mitigation in complex laser systems has been developed. However, the final optimization relies on a four-parameter numerical process. This article provides a fully analytical direct calculation alternative to this optimization process. The validity of this approach is demonstrated in previously published data from the pulsed laser system Bivoj/DiPOLE100. The new approach provides a deeper insight into the polarimetric method for TIPCL suppression and also brings a more precise, reliable, and faster alternative to the numerical process used earlier.
