Abstract Thin-disk multipass amplifiers represent one of the most powerful approaches to scale the average and peak powers of ultrafast laser systems. The present paper presents the amplification of picosecond and femtosecond pulses to average powers exceeding 2 and 1 kW, respectively. Second-harmonic generation in lithium-triborate crystals with powers higher than 1.4 kW and 400 W at a wavelength of 515 nm with picosecond and femtosecond pulse durations, respectively, are also reported. Furthermore, third-harmonic generation was demonstrated with output powers exceeding 250 W at a wavelength of 343 nm. Finally, processing of silicon, metals, and polycrystalline diamond with fs pulses at an average power of 1 kW is presented to demonstrate removal rates that are improved by orders of magnitude as compared to state-of-the-art techniques.

Three laser systems that are being developed for use in X-ray generation which incorporate SBS phase conjugate mirrors are described. A 25 J/pulse Nd:glass laser is being developed for commercial proximity print X-ray lithography; a 0.5 J/pulse, 1.3 kHz pulse repetition frequency laser is being built for soft X-ray projection lithography; and a 1 kJ/pulse laser driver for a table top X-ray laser has been designed. The results of prototypical experimental investigations are presented and the basic design principles for high average power phase conjugated laser systems shared by each of these lasers are discussed.
