 Title: 100W CELIA laser amplifier "Power vs Pump current" curve 

We measured again the 100W CELIA laser amplifier with a pump current until 8A.

as the first current pump of the amplifier has a Peltier issue, we don't exceeded 6A on this stage and we compensated with the 3 other stages.

7A average current is obtained with 6A / 7.3A / 7.3A / 7.4A
7.5A average current is obtained with 6A / 8A / 8A / 8A
8A average current is obtained with 6A / 8.6A / 8.7A / 8.7A

we did the power measured either with the "big" powermeter which is able to handle 100W
and with a smaller powermeter after a wedge, in the reflection path, which is multiplied by 39 to match the big powermeter measurement.

a fit a 12W/A from the cut-off current of 2A is a good estimation until 5A.
