Electro-optically Q-switched operation of a high-peak-power Tb:LiYF<sub>4</sub> green laser
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on an electro-optically Q-switched Tb:LiYF 4 green laser pumped by a frequency-doubled optically semiconductor blue laser. The characteristics were studied under wide range of repetition rates from 200 Hz to 50 kHz using KD 2 PO Q-switch. Up 198 µJ pulse energy was obtained with width 248 ns at rate Hz, corresponding peak power 797 W 544 nm.

Efficient high repetition rate electro-optic Q-switched laser with an optically active langasite crystal
With an optically active langasite (LGS) crystal as the electro-optic Q-switch, we demonstrate an efficient Q-switched laser with a repetition rate of 200 kHz. Based on the theoretical analysis of the interaction between optical activity and electro-optic property, the optical activity of the crystal has no influence on the birefringence during Q-switching if the quarter wave plate used was rot...
متن کاملOptically triggered Q-switched photonic crystal laser.
An optically triggered liquid crystal infiltrated Q-switched photonic crystal laser is demonstrated. A photonic crystal laser cavity was designed and fabricated to support two orthogonally polarized high-Q cavity modes after liquid crystal infiltration. By controlling the liquid crystal orientation via a layer of photoaddressable polymer and a writing laser, the photonic crystal lasing mode can...
متن کاملDiode-pumped 1 kW Q-switched Nd:YAG rod laser with high peak power and high beam quality.
We have demonstrated high-peak-power generation at 1 kW average power by applying an acousto-optic Q switch to a quasi-cw diode-pumped Nd:YAG master oscillator power amplifier. We achieved a maximum peak power of 2.3 MW by driving the Q switch in burst mode. The average repetition rate was 6 kHz. The corresponding beam quality was M2 = 9.

We present the room temperature Q-switched performances of a Ho:LuAG laser operated at 2.1 microm. At the repetition rate of 10 kHz, the maximum average output power of 9.9 W with a slope efficiency of 69.9% relative to absorbed pump power was obtained in Ho:LuAG laser. Also, the minimum pulse width of 33.0 ns was obtained, corresponding to the peak power was 30.0 kW.
