چکیده
A compact, orthogonally polarized, gain-switched a-cut Ho:LuLiF4 laser with intra-cavity pumping by a self-Q-switched Tm:YAP is demonstrated here for the first time. The π-polarization at 2052 nm and σ-polarization 2066 were experimentally observed maximum output power values of 299 mW 126 mW, respectively, two polarization directions always kept mutually orthogonal as pump increased. ratio between lasers was nearly 1:1 18.4 W. minimum pulse width Ho:LLF 326 ns, repetition rate 24 kHz, average energy 28 μJ.

Orthogonally polarized dual‐wavelength Yb:KGW laser induced by thermal lensing
narrow separation (e.g., 1086 and 1089 nm) resulting from transitions between the sublevels of two particular manifolds [1–5]. In contrast, Yb-ions have broad fluorescence spectra due to their relatively strong interactions between the electronic F5/2– F7/2 transitions and the host lattice vibrations. This makes them particularly attractive for generating dual-wavelength radiation with tunable ...
متن کاملOrthogonally polarized dual-wavelength Nd:LuVO4 laser at 1086 nm and 1089 nm.
A comparison between the fluorescence spectra of the Nd-doped vanadate crystals (Nd:YVO4, Nd:GdVO4, Nd:LuVO4) for the 4F3/2 → 4I11/2 transition is studied. We numerically analyze the condition of gain-to-loss balance via an uncoated intracavity etalon to achieve the dual-wavelength operation. We further experimentally demonstrate the orthogonally polarized dual-wavelength laser with a single Nd...
متن کاملWavelength-tunable optical short-pulse generation by mutual pulse injection seeding of two gain-switched Fabry-Perot laser diodes.
A simple and robust system is presented to generate wavelength-tunable optical short pulses by use of two gain-switched Fabry-Perot laser diodes in a mutual pulse injection-seeding scheme. The operating wavelength of the optical pulses is flexibly selected by adjustment of a tunable filter, and its intensity is enhanced with an erbium-doped fiber amplifier. The side-mode suppression ratio achie...
متن کاملA polarimetric current sensor using an orthogonally polarized dual-frequency fibre laser
We demonstrate a novel Er3+-doped fibre laser operating in orthogonally polarized dual-frequency modes and its application to electric current sensing with frequency read-out. A Faraday rotating mirror and spatial hole burning effects in a gain medium and in a saturable absorber are utilized to control the lasing mode and polarization. The polarization mode beat frequency changes linearly in re...
متن کاملLaser operation with two orthogonally polarized transverse modes.
Laser resonator configurations, which enable laser operation with two orthogonally polarized transverse modes, are presented. The intensity distributions of these two modes can be chosen to be complementary, so the gain medium can be exploited more efficiently than with a single mode, leading to improved output power. Moreover, the two modes can be combined and efficiently transformed into a si...
