摘要
A band-stop angular filter(BSF)based on hump volume Bragg gratings(HVBGs)is proposed.Band-stop filtering in a two-stage amplifier laser system is discussed and simulated.Simulation results show that small-scale self-focusing effects in the laser system can be effectively suppressed with the BSF due to the control of fast nonlinear growth in a specific range of spatial frequencies in the laser beam.Near-field modulation of the output beam from the laser system was decreased from 2.69 to 1.37 by controlling the fast nonlinear growth of spatial frequencies ranging from 0.6 mm-1to 1.2 mm-1 with the BSF.In addition,the BSF can be used in a plug-and-play scheme and has potential applications in high-power laser systems.
