High-pulse-energy passively Q-switched quasi-monolithic microchip lasers operating in the sub-100-ps pulse regime.
We present passively Q-switched microchip lasers with items bonded by spin-on-glass glue. Passive Q-switching is obtained by a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror. The laser medium is a Nd:YVO(4) crystal. These lasers generate pulse peak powers up to 20 kW at a pulse duration as short as 50 ps and pulse repetition rates of 166 kHz. At 1064 nm, a linear polarized transversal and longitudinal...
متن کامل2.5 mJ, sub-nanosecond pulses from single-crystal fiber amplifier in a kHz MOPA system
A Master Oscillator Power Amplifier configuration using a Nd:YAG single-crystal fiber to amplify a passively Q-switched microlaser is presented. We achieved the amplification of 80 μJ, sub-nanosecond pulses to the multi-millijoule regime. OCIS codes: (140.3580) Lasers, solid-state; (140.3480) Lasers, diode-pumped; (140.3530) Lasers, neodymium; (140.3380) Laser materials; (060.2290) Fiber materi...
متن کاملIncreasing output energy from a passively Q-switched Er:glass laser.
A method for increasing the output energy from newly developed passively Q-switched Er:glass eyesafe lasers is presented. The increase of energy is achieved by incorporating binary phase elements inside the laser cavities. Experimental results reveal that the output energies can be increased by more than a factor of two. Moreover, by manipulating the output phase with the binary phase elements,...
متن کاملCharacterization of energy transfer for passively Q-switched laser ignition.
Miniaturized passively Q-switched Nd:YAG/Cr(4+):YAG lasers are promising candidates as spark sources for sophisticated laser ignition. The influence of the complex spatial-temporal pulse profile of such lasers on the process of plasma breakdown and on the energy transfer is studied. The developed measurement technique is applied to an open ignition system as well as to prototypes of laser spark...
متن کاملVCSEL end-pumped passively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with adjustable pulse energy.
A compact, passively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser utilizing a Cr4+:YAG saturable absorber, is end-pumped by the focused emission from an 804 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) array. By changing the VCSEL operating current, we demonstrated 2x adjustability in the laser output pulse energy, from 9 mJ to 18 mJ. This energy variation was attributed to changes in the angular distribution ...
