摘要
Experiments have been designed and performed to determine the effects on the seeding efficiency of injection seed energy and power, alignment, and spatial mode matching between single longitudinal mode seed lasers and a power oscillator. The absorption features of H2O have allowed the characterization of the seeding efficiency by selectively absorbing the laser output energy corresponding to the seed wavelength. This enabled the accurate measurement of the residual unseeded laser output energy. Both a pulsed and a continuous wave seed source were used for these experiments. This work compares the results of the experiments with a theory for injection seeding developed in the previous paper.
