Nonlinear feedback stabilisation and stochastic disturbance suppression of actively Q-switched lasers

14 Apr 2023  ·  Lukas Tarra, Andreas Deutschmann-Olek, Andreas Kugi ·

Actively Q-switched lasers are widely used tools which are required to produce stable output pulse energies for many applications. In this paper, a model-based control concept for actively Q-switched lasers is presented which stabilises their nonlinear pulse-to-pulse dynamics and rejects stochastic disturbances arising from amplified spontaneous emission. The feasibility of the control task is demonstrated to strongly depend on the design of the semi-active prelasing approach. In contrast to state-of-the-art hardware-based controllers, the proposed concept is flexible and cost-effective as it is not tailored to specific operation parameters.
