摘要

High-average-power, megawatt-peak-power solid-state lasers with high beam quality have garnered significant attention in the field of laser cleaning applications. This paper presents a 1064 nm diode-pumped Nd: YAG master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system employing a multi-mode stable resonator. The designed resonator exhibits minimal beam quality variation when operating in the second stability zone, combining excellent power scalability with remarkable multi-mode stability. A flexible beam delivery system incorporating a 400-µm-core-diameter optical fiber demonstrates exceptional performance, achieving coupling efficiency exceeding 95% at a maximum average output power of 701 W with 20 kHz repetition frequency. Furthermore, it reaches a peak power of 1.0 MW at 12 kHz repetition frequency while maintaining 588 W average power output. Experimental results confirm that this innovative design successfully balances high-power operation with beam quality preservation and efficient energy transmission.
