Continuous-wave alexandrite laser pumped by a direct-current mercury arc lamp.
A fluctuation-free mercury arc lamp for the pumping of a cw alexandrite laser is reported. Thermal insulation of a cathode of the lamp permits 4-kW fully vaporized direct-current operation. Fluctuations owing to the pool of liquid mercury in conventional lamp tubes is completely avoided. A 17-W, cw alexandrite laser pumped by the newly developed lamp is described.
متن کاملOne-Watt level mid-IR output, singly resonant, continuous-wave optical parametric oscillator pumped by a monolithic diode laser.
We report more than 1.1 Watt of idler power at 3373 nm in a singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (SRO), directly pumped by a single-frequency monolithic tapered diode laser. The SRO is based on a periodically poled MgO:LiNbO3 crystal in a four mirror cavity and is excited by 8.05 W of 1062 nm radiation. The SRO pump power at threshold is 4 W. The internal slope-efficiency and conversio...
متن کاملFemtosecond Cr:LiSAF and Cr:LiCAF lasers pumped by tapered diode lasers.
We report compact, low-cost and efficient Cr:Colquiriite lasers that are pumped by high brightness tapered laser diodes. The tapered laser diodes provided 1 to 1.2 W of output power around 675 nm, at an electrical-to-optical conversion efficiency of about 30%. Using a single tapered diode laser as the pump source, we have demonstrated output powers of 500 mW and 410 mW together with slope effic...
متن کاملFemtosecond Cr:Colquiriite Lasers Pumped by a Single Tapered Diode Laser
Ti:Sapphire lasers could provide tunable femtosecond pulses in the 680-1180 nm region; however, due to the requirement of expensive green pump sources, its current cost sets a barrier to its widespread adoption. As an alternative, Cr :Colquiriites (Cr:LiCAF, Cr:LiSAF, Cr:LiSGaF) also possess broad gain bandwidths and their total cw tuning range cover the 720-1110 nm region. Moreover, their broa...
متن کاملDiode-pumped Continuous-wave Nd:LuVO4 Laser Emitting at 1086 nm in σ Polarization
A diode-pumped Nd:LuVO4 laser emitted at 1086 nm in σ polarization has been demonstrated. A power of 2.37 W at 1086 nm has been achieved in continuous-wave (cw) operation with a fiber-coupled laser diode emitting 18.2 W at 809 nm. Moreover, intracavity second-harmonic generation in cw mode has also been demonstrated with a power of 528 mW at 543 nm by using a LiB3O5 (LBO) nonlinear crystal.
