Laser damage of Yb:YAG active mirrors under atmospheric, vacuum, and cryogenic conditions (Conference Presentation)

Read Abstract +

The demonstration of a Yb:YAG chirped pulse amplification laser producing 1 J, 5 ps pulses at 500 Hz repetition rate [1] and recently 1 J pulses at 1 kHz repetition rate [2] relied on efficient thermal management and high performance multilayer dielectric coatings on the laser amplifier active mirrors. In the active mirror configuration, the Yb:YAG amplifier crystals use HfO2/SiO2 multilayer dielectric anti-reflection (AR) and high reflection (HR) coatings. The Joule-level amplifier is operated in vacuum and at liquid nitrogen boiling temperature (77 K) with 1030 nm, 220 ps duration laser pulses making four reflections from each HR coating and 8 passes through each AR coating. The LIDT performance of these coatings is crucial to the future scaling of these amplifiers. In this work we describe results of an investigation of the laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) of Yb:YAG active mirror laser amplifier disks at atmospheric, vacuum and cryogenic temperature conditions. The measurements were conducted for 220 ps pulses, the typical pulse duration of stretched pulses we are using to implement kW-class average power CPA laser amplifiers [1,2]. We measured the 1-on-1 (single-shot) and 3000-on-1 LIDT on Yb:YAG crystals with and without the coatings. The results show that the LIDT for single shot damage occurs near 20 J/cm2, and 100% damage probability occurs near 29 J/cm2 for either the uncoated or coated Yb:YAG crystal at atmospheric conditions. Similar results were obtained in the vacuum and cryogenic temperatures tests. This leads to the conclusion that the Yb:YAG material itself, and not the coatings, is the limiting factor in the LIDT. This work was performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of High Energy Physics, Accelerator Stewardship Program under Award DE-SC0016136. References [1] C. Baumgarten, M.

Imaging tools for nanoscicence involving sub-100-nm scale objects have been dominated by atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and electron microscopy (SEM, TEM). These imaging techniques have contributed substantially to the development of nanoscience, providing a very powerful diagnostic tool capable of obtaining images with atomic resolution or as a subsidiary mechanism to arrange or modify surfaces also at the atomic scale [1,2]. However, some important problems have persisted traditional nanoscale imaging techniques. For example when scanning a nanometer size object that is not attached rigidly to a surface the interaction with the tip significantly perturbs the specimen degrading or eventually precluding the image acquisition. Electron microscopy often requires surface preparation, consisting of metallization of the sample to avoid surface charging. Additionally the metallization of the sample may alter its characteristics and also limits the resolution. In both cases, if the sample is large (millimeters in size) due to the limited field of view, the image obtained with these conventional methods is only representative of a very small portion of the object. Wavelength-limited holographic imaging using carbon nanotubes as the test object with a table-top extreme ultraviolet (EUV) laser operating at 46.9 nm will be discussed. The resolution achieved in this imaging is evaluated with a rigorous correlation image analysis and confirmed with the conventional knife-edge test. The nano-holography presented requires no optics or critical beam alignment; thus the hologram recording scheme is very simple and does not need special sample preparation. In holography, image contrast requires absorption to provide scattering by the illuminating beam. The EUV laser wavelength employed in this experiment (46.9nm) is advantageous because carbon based materials typically exhibit very small attenuation lengths, around 25 nm. The high absorption of even small object volumes produces high optical contrasts. The short attenuation length thus enables nearly full contrast for most objects without applying forces to the imaged objects, no charge buildup, and without the need for complicated sample preparation. Additionally this simple technique allows to image macroscopic size objects, several millimeters square with arbitrary shape while simultaneously sustaining across the image sub-50 nm spatial resolution. This characteristic is equivalent to storing data at a density rate of ~0.3 Tbit per square inch over large areas, and represents a simple demonstration of a method that allows permanently dense storage of a large amount of data.
