Abstract
A laser amplifier for laser shock processing having a pump cavity supplying photons at selected or variable wavelengths and orientations to that of the gain medium present therein. In one embodiment, the pump wavelength is substantially equal to a corresponding wavelength difference between the upper laser state energy level and the ground state energy level of atoms composing the gain medium. In an alternate embodiment, photonic energy is applied asymmetrically to the gain medium to produce a desired spatial energy profile. The pump cavity may comprise an alexandrite laser or a diode laser system. Depending on the type of pump cavity, the photonic energy is applied to the gain medium either longitudinally or transverse to the laser beam axis of traversing therein.
