ABSTRACT
High average power and peak power solid-state lasers are of great interest in the field of laser cleaning. In this research, a high peak power laser with over 400 W average power using a multi-mode stable resonator in a diode-pumped Nd:YAG master oscillator power amplifier has been demonstrated. A maximum peak power over 1.08 MW was achieved at a repetition frequency of 5 kHz. Delivery fiber with a 400 µm core diameter was utilized for flexible laser transmission. A prototype of the laser cleaning system was developed and inspiring application effects for paint and mold cleaning were achieved.
