Iv. Golovnin et al., FREQUENCY SWEEPING OF RADIATION IN A SYST EM WITH A MONOLITHIC LASER AND A PULSED SLAB AMPLIFIER, Kvantovaa elektronika, 23(7), 1996, pp. 606-610
Theoretical and experimental investigations were made of frequency swe
eping in a system Formed by a highly stable cw master oscillator and a
multipass pulsed slab amplifier. It is shown that in a four-pass smal
l-signal amplification system the chirp of the amplified radiation doe
s not exceed 7.7 kHz when the energy of the pump pulses is 36 J and th
e duration of these pulses is 300 mu s.
