The Master Oscillator Power Amplifier (MOPA) approach allows the scaling of lasers to high powers while preserving the spatial and temporal coherence of the master oscillator. We demonstrate the first scaling of an Nd:YAG MOPA to the 100 W level using end pumped and edge pumped slabs. This represents a key milestone in the development of a laser system for advanced LIGO.
