Abstract
A new approach to realize high-energy and high-power stimulated Brillouin scattering phase conjugation mirrors (SBS-PCMs) is described. The reflectivity of SBS-PCM is investigated under a 10-Hz repetition rate and a high energy load. The relationship between reflectivity and input energy is examined experimentally with different PCM structures, focus lengths, and medium cell structures. A medium cell with a circulating structure is designed, and its advantage is demonstrated through an experimental comparison with traditional PCM structures. The 30-cm focus lens and 150-cm collimation lens are optimized when the input energy reaches 1010 mJ at 10-Hz repetition rate. Therefore, a reflectivity of 84.7% and a higher energy load using the circulating two-cell structure are achieved.
