Intra-cavity side-pumped Ho:YAG laser.
We present a novel, compact and power scalable Ho:YAG laser based on intracavity side-pumping by a high-power Tm:YLF slab laser. 14 W of continuous wave output power is obtained at 2.09 microm in the current experiments, with the clear prospect of reaching the 100 W regime in a power scaled version.
متن کامل330 mJ single-frequency Ho:YLF slab amplifier.
We report on a double-pass Ho:YLF slab amplifier which delivered 350 ns long single-frequency pulses of up to 330 mJ at 2064 nm, with a maximum M2 of 1.5 at 50 Hz. It was end pumped with a diode-pumped Tm:YLF slab laser and seeded with up to 50 mJ of single-frequency pulses.
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 کامل200W output power at 10ps from a scalable Z-slab Nd:YAG laser
We demonstrate power scaling of an Nd:YAG picosecond master oscillator power amplifier system to over 200 W. The ‘z-slab’ amplifier design is a power scalable, edge-pumped zigzag slab amplifier architecture, and it is demonstrated here in two alternative multi-stage implementations at 1064 nm using a picosecond seed laser. In a simple design, an average power of 225 W was generated with up to 4...
متن کاملDirectly diode-pumped high-energy Ho:YAG oscillator.
We report on the high-energy laser operation of an Ho:YAG oscillator resonantly pumped by a GaSb-based laser diode stack at 1.9 μm. The output energy was extracted from a compact plano-concave acousto-optically Q-switched resonator optimized for low repetition rates. Operating at 100 Hz, pulse energies exceeding 30 mJ at a wavelength of 2.09 μm were obtained. The corresponding pulse duration at...
