A theory of the four-level solid-state laser has been applied to the case of an unsaturated Nd3+-glass pulsed laser amplifier operating at power levels in the order of 1 MW. Equations for flux density and population inversion have been derived which take into account the degeneracies and splittings of the laser levels. Experiments made with a Q-switched oscillator–amplifier structure validate the predicted exponential dependence of amplifier gain on pumping, over the range of energies applied.

Abstract We propose a general methodology to define the optimum doping ion volume distribution required for an efficient solid-state laser amplifier. This approach is illustrated in the context of two experimental diode pumped Yb:YAG amplifiers operating at 300 and 160 K. Processing of such tailored gain media is now possible through horizontal direct crystallization.
