  • Abstract
    Cascaded nonlinearities are theoretically and experimentally investigated for intracavity nonlinearity compensation in a Nd:YLF regenerative amplifier. Spectral broadening is significantly reduced, in agreement with simulations, allowing for efficient amplification in a Nd:YLF power amplifier.
