Diode-laser-array-pumped neodymium slab oscillators.
A high-power multistripe diode-laser array has been used to pump miniature zigzag slab oscillators of Nd:YAG and Nd:glass. With Nd:YAG we have demonstrated output at 1.06 microm of 70-kW peak power and 585-mW average power with an electrical-to-optical efficiency of 4%. In this experiment the Nd:glass lasers were limited to 160-mW average power and less efficiency than the Nd:YAG. The differenc...
متن کامل40-W cw, TEM(00)-mode, diode-laser-pumped, Nd:YAG miniature-slab laser.
We have built a diode-laser-pumped Nd:YAG slab laser that emits 40 W of cw power in a TEM(00) mode and 72 W of power in multimode operation when pumped with 235 W. The slope efficiencies are 22% for TEM(00)-mode operation and 36% for multimode operation. The laser uses a zigzag slab geometry to reduce thermally induced distortions and operates at less than one wave of distortion at the full pum...
متن کاملDiode-pumped passively mode-locked Nd:YVO4 laser at 914 nm.
We demonstrate, for the first time, to our knowledge, a diode-pumped passively mode-locked Nd:YVO4 laser, operating on the 4F(3/2)-4I(9/2) transition of the neodymium ion at 914 nm. We obtained 8.8 ps pulses at approximately 914 nm at a repetition rate of 94 MHz, and an averaged output power of 87 mW by using a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror.
متن کاملDiode-pumped Nd:YAG laser emitting at 899 nm and below.
We present what is, to the best of our knowledge, the first diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser emitting at 899 nm and below, based on the (4)F(3/2) - (4)I(9/2) transition, generally used for a 946 nm emission. A power of 630 mW at 899 nm has been achieved in cw operation and 16 mW at 884 nm with a fiber-coupled laser diode emitting 9 W at 808 nm. Intracavity second-harmonic generation in cw mode has als...
متن کاملHigh-power diode-pumped fiber laser operating at 3 μm.
A high-power diode-cladding-pumped Ho³⁺-doped fluoride glass fiber laser operating in cascade mode is demonstrated. The ⁵I₆→⁵I₇ and ⁵I₇→⁵I₈ laser transitions produced 0.77 W at a measured slope efficiency of 12.4% and 0.24 W at a measured slope efficiency of 5.2%, respectively. Using a long fiber length, which forced a large threshold for the ⁵I₇→⁵I₈ transition, a wavelength of 3.002 μm was mea...
