متن کاملAn Efficient End-Pumped Ho:Tm:YLF Disk Amplifier
An efficient diode-pumped, room temperature Ho:Tm:YLF disk amplifier was realized by end-pump configuration. Compared to side pump configuration, about a factor three improvement in system efficiency has been demonstrated. OCIS codes: (140.3280) Laser amplifiers; (140 3480) Lasers, diode-pumped
متن کاملOne-Joule-Per-Pulse Q-switched 2-micron solid state laser
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 ...
متن کاملUnified Pulsed Laser Range Finder and Velocimeter using Ultra-Fast Time-To-Digital Converter
In this paper, we present a high accuracy laser range finder and velocimeter using ultra-fast time-to-digital converter (TDC). The system operation is based on the measuring the round-trip time of a narrow laser pulse. A low-dark current high-speed PIN photodiode is used to detect the triggered laser beam and to produce start signal. The pulsed laser diode generates 45W optical power at 30ns du...
متن کاملFour-pass amplifier for the pulsed amplification of a narrow-bandwidth continuous-wave dye laser.
We demonstrate a new type of four-pass dye laser amplifier that can reduce the possibility of parasitic oscillation between optical components used in the amplifier. Pumping the amplifier with a 5.6-mJ Q-switched doubled Nd:YAG laser output, we obtain high-peak-power pulsed output of an incident cw narrow-bandwidth dye laser beam with a power gain greater than 2 x 10(6) . Subsequent amplificati...
