Passively 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...
متن کاملContinuous-wave and passively Q-switched cladding-pumped planar waveguide lasers.
Greater than 12 W of average output power has been generated from a diode-pumped Yb:YAG cladding-pumped planar waveguide laser. The laser radiation developed is linearly polarized and diffraction limited in the guiding dimension. A slope efficiency of 0.5 W/W with a peak optical-optical conversion efficiency of 0.31 W/W is achieved. In a related structure, greater than 8 W of Q -switched averag...
متن کاملTheoretical Study of Diode Pumped Intracavity Doubled Passively Q-Switched Solid-State Lasers
In recent years, great attention has been paid to high peak power all-solid-state pulsed blue-green lasers [1–4] for some applications such as spectroscopy, display, optical data storage, coherent telecommunications, remote sensing, medicine, etc. Such lasers are generally realized by intracavity or external cavity frequency doubling of cw laser-diode (LD)-pumped solid-state Q-switched Nd-doped...
متن کاملOptical resolution photoacoustic microscopy using novel high-repetition-rate passively Q-switched microchip and fiber lasers.
Optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM) is a novel imaging technology for visualizing optically absorbing superficial structures in vivo with lateral spatial resolution determined by optical focusing rather than acoustic detection. Since scanning of the illumination spot is required, OR-PAM imaging speed is limited by both scanning speed and laser pulse repetition rate. Unfortunate...
متن کاملHigh-repetition-rate polymeric solid-state dye lasers pumped by a copper-vapor laser
We report on the laser action of pyrromethene 567 incorporated into polymeric matrices and pumped longitudinally with the green line of a copper-vapor laser. When the dye was dissolved in a copolymer of methyl methacrylate and pentaerythritol triacrylate, 290 mW average power at 1 kHz ~37% lasing efficiency! was obtained. The laser output decreased to 150 mW after 30 min irradiation time (1.831...
