Diode laser--pumped solid-state lasers.
Diode laser-pumped solid-state lasers are efficient, compact, all solid-state sources of coherent optical radiation. Major advances in solid-state laser technology have historically been preceded by advances in pumping technology. The helical flash lamps used to pump early ruby lasers were superseded by the linear flash lamp and arc lamp now used to pump neodymium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet ...
متن کاملDirect generation of optical bottle beams from a tightly focused end-pumped solid-state laser.
We demonstrate that various optical bottle beams can be directly generated from a tightly focused end-pumped Nd:YVO4 laser. By controlling the size of pump beam and intracavity aperture in a planoconcave cavity, we obtain well contrasting optical bottles with semiconfocal, 1/3-, and 1/5-degenerate cavity configurations. These beams result, respectively, from the superposition of the fundamental...
متن کاملLaser Beams with Axially Symmetric Polarization
The analysis of the vector wave equation was conducted. The class of self-similar solutions with inhomogeneous polarization corresponding to the resonator modes is deduced. The modes with inhomogeneous polarization can be selected by a diffraction element with polarization selectivity used as one of the resonator mirrors. Diffraction elements with high polarization selectivity about 100% are ne...
متن کاملSingle-mode, All-Solid-State Nd:YAG Laser Pumped UV Converter
In this paper, the status of a high-energy, all solid-state Nd:YAG laser pumped nonlinear optics based UV converter development is discussed. The high-energy UV transmitter technology is being developed for ozone sensing applications from space based platforms using differential lidar technique. The goal is to generate greater than 200 mJ/pulse with 10-50 Hz PRF at wavelengths of 308 nm and 320...
متن کاملPassively Q-switched diode-pumped Er:YAG solid-state laser.
We demonstrated laser operation of a passively Q-switched diode-pumped Er:YAG solid-state laser emitting at 1645 or 1617 nm depending on the initial transmission of the Cr:ZnSe saturable absorber. The crystal emitted up to 10 W at 1645 nm and up to 8 W at 1617 nm in CW mode while pumped with 65 W of incident pump power at 1533 nm. In passive Q-switched mode with 40 W of incident power, a Cr:ZnS...
