Cooling and thermal stabilisation of Faraday rotators in the temperature range 300 - 200 K using Peltier elements

A new method for cooling and thermal stabilisation of Faraday rotators using Peltier elements is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The scheme of thermal stabilisation of the magnetooptical elements ensures reliable operation of the device at the absorbed power {approx}2 W, which corresponds to the transmitted laser radiation power 1.5 kW. The results of the work make it possible to predict high efficiency of this method at the laser power of tens of kilowatts.

Laser driver for a photocathode of an electron linear accelerator

A laser system is designed for operation with a photocathode electron gun for a linear accelerator with the following parameters of radiation at a wavelength of 262 nm (the fourth harmonic of a Nd:YLF laser). The pulse trains (macropulses) with a repetition rate of 5 Hz and a duration of 900 {mu}s consist of 8-ps micropulses with an energy of 1.4 {mu}J and a repetition rate of 2.708 MHz. This repetition rate is variable within {+-}32 kHz and is stabilised by an external signal with an accuracy of 10 Hz. Due to the use of a feedback-controlled acousto-optic modulator, the root-mean-square deviation of the micropulse energy in the first and second harmonics is 2.5% and 3.6%, respectively. Using the decaying branch of the dependence of the second-to-fourth harmonic conversion efficiency on the second harmonic intensity, we decreased the root-mean-square deviation of the energy of the fourth-harmonic micropulses to 2.3% at the first-to-fourth harmonic conversion efficiency of 27%.

Cryogenic Faraday isolator

A Faraday isolator is described in which thermal effects are suppressed by cooling down to liquid nitrogen temperatures. The principal scheme, main characteristics and modifications of the isolator are presented. The isolation degree is studied experimentally for the subkilowatt average laser radiation power. It is shown that the isolator can be used at radiation powers up to tens of kilowatts. (quantum electronic devices)
