The Use of the Karl Sub-Scale Laser for Raman Beam Clean-Up Experiments.
Abstract
The two x ray preionized discharge pumped front end lasers for the Raman Beam Clean up Experiment (LARBC) have been examined both optically and electrically in an effort to increase the optical and temporal quality of the injection locked beam produced. The KARL subscale has been successfully injection locked by the front end lasers and preliminary studies of the stability of the injection locking begun. An isolator system has been designed and constructed to prevent damage to system optics from energy moving the wrong way in the system. A gas processing system was tested to remove contaminants in the laser gas. Additional units have been purchased for use on all the laser in the system. Diagnostics for the experiment will be coordinated through the WP3202 digitizing system. Keywords: Waveform digitizers; Cryogenic gas processing systems; X ray preionized discharge pumped laser; Raman beam clean up; Injection locked.
