Abstract:
Systems and methods provide laser pulse equalization at different pulse repetition frequencies (PRFs). After initially pumping a lasing medium from a first pumping level to a peak pumping level, a controller may cause a pump source to continue pumping the lasing medium according to a pulse equalization pumping curve. The equalization pumping curve may be determined based on testing laser pulse parameters at different PRFs to achieve an optimal equalization result of the pulse parameters. The optimization metric used to evaluate various equalization pumping curves may include a consistency of the pulse energy level, peak power level, and/or pulse width of the laser under different PRFs. The equalization pumping curve may be a descending curve from the peak pumping level to the first pumping level. The equalization pumping curve may be a linearly declining curve, a substantially exponentially declining curve, a parametrically declining curve, or any other curve type.
