Abstract

We report on an Nd:glass large-mode rod regenerative amplifier with a pulse energy of 125 mJ at 1053 nm. The amplifier contains a linear-type resonator, which is designed in Stability Zone II with a misalignment sensitivity factor of 12.9 m. A method is proposed for analyzing the sensitivity of the mode displacement on the gain media to cavity misalignment, and the optimum solution to compensation for cavity misalignment is obtained and applied to the amplifier. The amplifier exhibits excellent energy stability with a fluctuation of 0.47% (RMS) within 7 h and high spatial beam quality with
