Injection Seeding of a Q - switched Nd : YLF Oscillator by Gary Ball
نویسنده
چکیده
This dissertation presents a study of injection seeding in Nd:YLF Q-switched oscillators for the purposes of producing single axial mode output. The objective was to develop a prototype system and determine the limiting factors which dictate successful injection seeding. The laser system consisted of a laser diode pumped monolithic miniature Nd:YLF master oscillator which seeded a conventional Q-switched Nd:YLF slave oscillator. The limiting factor of our present system was determined to be spatial hole burning for which preventative alternatives are suggested. The analysis of our present laser system has permitted us to draw conclusions concerning the optimal injection seeding of a monomode Q-switched laser.

Background: Although cryotherapy has been reported as atechnique for depigmenting residual pigmented patches inpatients with universal vitiligo, Q-switched Nd-YAG lasershave not yet been used for this purpose. The aim of this studywas to compare the efficacy of cryotherapy with that of 532nmQ-switched Nd-YAG laser therapy for depigmentation in patientswith universal vitiligo.Method: Six adult p...

The use of semiconductor diode lasers as pump sources for solid-state lasers was demonstrated as early as 1964.1 In the past few years the dramatic increase in output power of diode lasers 2 has made pumping of solid-state lasers practical. Recently it was shown that diode-laser-pumped Nd:YAG lasers offer advantages over lamp-pumped lasers, including high efficiency3 and good frequency stabilit...

The Q-switched Nd:YAG laser operating in a single axial mode with a Fourier-transform-limited bandwidth is a useful source for nonlinear and high-resolution spectroscopic studies. In the past, single-axial-mode operation of the Nd:YAG laser received considerable attention,' and single-mode operation of a TEMNoo-mode Q-switched oscillator has been reported.2'3 More recently, single-mode operatio...

Q-switched output of 1.1 J per pulse at 2-micron wavelength has been achieved in a diode pumped Ho:Tm:LuLF laser using a side-pumped rod configuration in a Master-Oscillator-Power-Amplifier (MOPA) architecture. This is the first time that a 2-micron laser has broken the Joule per pulse barrier for Q-switched operation. The total system efficiency reaches 5% and 6.2% for single and double pulse ...
