Thin disk lasers are the laser technology that offers
the highest output power without external amplification. Power levels of
several thousand Watts are commercially available in the continuous wave
regime. In pulsed operation, output powers exceeding 100 W have been
demonstrated.
This thesis describes different approaches to increase
the peak power of modelocked thin disk lasers along
with regimes where they can be successfully used for strong field applications.
In this framework, the modelocked
thin disk laser with the highest average output power was presented. The
minimal pulse duration of modelocked thin disk lasers
was substantially reduced and two compression schemes especially suitable for modelocked thin disk lasers were developed. Furthermore, the generation of high harmonic radiation was
demonstrated with pulse energies readily provided by modelocked
thin disk lasers.
About the author:
Oliver H. Heckl received his Diploma in Physics in 2007 from the
University of Augsburg, Germany. He joined the
Institute of Quantum Electronics at ETH Zurich in the same year. His research
interests focus on the development of ultrafast laser oscillators with high
average powers and pulse energies with a special interest in increasing their
peak power. Applications for these lasers are found in materials processing or
high field physics experiments. He has written or co-authored more than 50
scientific journal articles and conference contributions.
