Study of the Bragg Grating Recording and Degradation Processes for Application in the Pulsed Solid-state Lasers
This article provides a brief overview of methods for recording volume holographic Bragg gratings as the optical elements for controlling the emission spectrum of high-power pulsed solid-state lasers. The recording media for holographic Bragg gratings (silver-halide emulsions, chrome-plated gelatin layers, lithium niobate crystals (LiNbO3), and photothermorefractive glass) are considered. The recording circuits for holographic Lloyd, Michelson, and Talbot gratings are given. The requirements for the spatial stability of laser radiation are described, and their control method is provided. The experimental results of recording the transmission Bragg gratings in various solid-state materials are presented. The surface radiation resistance threshold of photothermorefractive glass is determined by the breakdown registration. The feasibility of developing Bragg diffraction gratings in the high-power pulsed lasers is demonstrated.
