Coppendale, L. Wang, P. Douglas, P. Barker] We describe a high-energy, frequency chirped laser system designed for optical Stark deceleration of cold molecules. This system produces two, pulse amplified beams of up to 700mJ with flat-top temporal profiles, whose frequency and intensity can be well controlled for durations from 20ns-10μs. The two beams are created by amplifying a single, rapidly tunable Nd:YVO4 microchip type laser at 1064nm, which can be frequency chirped by up to 1GHz over the duration of the pulse. Intensity modulation induced by relaxation oscillations in the microchip laser during the frequency chirp are virtually eliminated by injection locking a free running semiconductor diode laser before pulsed amplification.
