Optimization of peak power of passively Q-switched lasers by taking into account intracavity laser spatial distribution

The intracavity photon density and the initial population-inversion density in the diode-pumped passively Q-switched lasers are assumed to be Gaussian spatial distributions. The space-dependent rate equations are solved numerically. The key parameters of an optimally coupled passively Q-switched laser under Gaussian approximation are determined, and a group of general curves are generated for the first time. These key parameters include the optimal normalized coupling parameter and the optimal normalized saturable absorber parameter that maximize the peak power, and the corresponding normalized energy, normalized peak power, and normalized pulse width. The curves clearly show the dependence of the optimal key parameters on the parameters of the gain medium, the saturable absorber, and the resonator. In addition, the importance including the space variation is also shown. The optimal calculations for a diode-pumped passively Nd:YVO₄ laser are presented to demonstrate the use of the curves and the related formulas.     

Laser-diode side-pumped actively Q-switched eye-safe intracavity optical parametric oscillator

Eye-safe laser of 1573 nm wavelength from a laser-diode (LD) side-pumped actively Q-switched Nd:YAG/KTP intracavity optical parametric oscillator (IOPO) with acousto-optic (AO) modulator is presented. The dependences of the average output power, the pulse width, pulse energy, and the peak power on incident pump current for the generated-signal-light pulses are obtained. By considering the Gaussian spatial distributions of the pump light in laser medium, the photon densities of the fundamental, the signal, and the idle waves as well as the initial population-inversion density and the coupled rate equations of this IOPO are described, in which the influence of the pump rate, the thermal effect in the gain medium and the change of the photon density along the cavity axis have been also taken into account. These coupled equations are solved numerically, and the theoretical calculations are consistent with the experimental results.     

Continuous-wave and Q-switched laser operation of Nd:Gd0.18Y0.82VO4 mixed crystal

Efficient continuous-wave (cw), passively Q-switched, and actively Q-switched laser operations are demonstrated with a mixed vanadate crystal of Nd:Gd_0.18Y_0.82VO₄ under diode pumping. In a cw operation, an output power of 8.25 W is obtained at a maximum available incident pump power (P_in) of 15 W, with a slope efficiency of 56%. Using a Cr⁴⁺:YAG crystal of initial transmission of 62% as the saturable absorber for Q-switching, an average output power of 3.05 W is generated at pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of 16.7 kHz when the laser is pumped with the same maximum P_in. The pulse energy, pulse duration, and peak power are 183.3 μJ, 6.0 ns, and 30.6 kW, respectively. When actively Q-switched by an acousto-optic modulator, the laser produces an average output power of 5.5 W at PRF of 30 kHz with 16.2 W of pump power incident upon the laser crystal. The pulse energy, duration, and peak power are measured to be 183 μJ, 10.5 ns, and 17.5 kW, respectively.
