Stable passive Q-switching of a Tm: LiYF4 laser is obtained using polycrystalline Cr2+: ZnS as a saturable absorber. The achieved maximum pulse energy of 0.9 mJ and peak power of 65 kW for a pulse duration of ~14 ns represent substantial improvement and highest values for a passively Q-switched diode-pumped Tm laser operating at ~1.9 μm. 相似文献

By using a pump recycling configuration, we presented a high efficient diode-pumped Tm:YLF laser with a volume Bragg grating.
When the incident pump power was 33.1 W, a maximum output power of 11.1 W at 1907.8 nm with full width at half maximum of
0.6 nm was obtained. The slope efficiency with respect to the incident pump power was 44.8%, and the optical-to-optical efficiency
was 33.5%. In addition, the VBG-based Tm:YLF laser was employed as a pumping source of Ho:YAG laser, the maximum output power
of 4.7 W with a slope efficiency of 67.0% was obtained, corresponding to Tm-to-Ho conversion efficiency of 51.6%. 相似文献

We first report a tunable repetition frequency passively Q-switched 2053 nm Tm,Ho:YLF laser by tuning the tilt angle of the
Cr:ZnS saturable absorber. When the pump power is 1.4 W, the pulse repetition frequency can be tuned from 1.6 to 19.4 kHz
by changing the position of Cr2+:ZnS saturable absorber along the cavity axis. When the Cr2+:ZnS saturable absorber is near the Tm,Ho:YLF crystal, the repetition frequency can be tuned from 0.8 to 4.0 kHz by changing
the tilt angle of the Cr2+:ZnS saturable absorber, furthermore, the pulse width and the pulse energy are near constants of 1.7 μs and 3.5 μJ, respectively. 相似文献

We have investigated acoustic-optical Q-switched Tm,Ho:YLF laser end-pumped by a laser-diode. At room temperature, a 2.067 μm wavelength pulsed output is realized. Average output power, single pulse energy and pulse-width are measured at different incident pump powers and pulse repetition frequencies. When the incident pump power is 2.8 W, a maximum average output power of 189 mW is obtained at the repetition frequency of 9 kHz, and this corresponds to an optical conversion efficiency of 6.8%. The maximum single pulse energy of 65μJ, the shortest pulse-width with full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 138 ns and the maximum peak power of 470 W are obtained at the pulse repetition frequency of 1 kHz. 相似文献

This paper presents CW and acoustic-optical Q-switched Tm,Ho:YLF laser performance in a laser-diode end-pumping figure-eight
ring resonator structure at 77 K. Under CW operation, different transmission of output couplers and different cavity length
were used to achieve best characteristics of the laser. The maximum power of 1.85 W is achieved with the threshold of 2.09
W, slope efficiency of 28.14% and optical-to-optical efficiency of 20.3% on the condition of 1 m cavity length and 18% transmission.
Under pump power of 4 W, laser characteristics under Q-switched operation with different pulse repeat frequency was investigated.
Maximum energy of 5.86 mJ is achieved with pulse width of 171.2 ns, peak power of 34.2 kW and dynamic-static ratio about Q-switch
laser of 0.62 at pulse repeat frequency 70 Hz. 相似文献

Output performance of a continuous-wave (CW) laser diode end-pumped passively Q-switched Tm,Ho:YLF laser is demonstrated with a Cr:ZnS crystal as the saturable absorber. We particularly investigate the influence of saturable absorber's position in the resonator when the Cr:ZnS crystal is placed close to and far from the laser beam waist. We compare the experimental results at the two different positions, and find that the laser shows unusual output characteristics when the Cr:ZnS saturable absorber is placed close to the beam waist. The pulse width and the pulse energy almost keep constant, measured about 1.25 μs and 4 μJ respectively, when the pump power is changed in the range of 1–1.9 W. Moreover, the pulse repetition frequency can be tuned between 1.3 kHz and 2.6 kHz by changing the pump power. The output wavelength of the passively Q-switched laser shifts to 2053 nm from 2067 nm in CW operation. 相似文献

In this paper, we report two crystals Tm:YLF laser pumped by a fiber coupled diode laser with total power of 180 W at 792
nm. When the incident power reached up to 117.0 and 37.3 W of the emission wave-length at 1.91 μm was achieved. Through linear
fit, the corresponding slope efficiency of 38.5%, optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 31.9% and the beam quality factor
of M
2 ∼ 1.1 were obtained, indicating nearly diffraction limited beam propagation. To our best knowledge, this is the best beam
quality among the reported paper results under the similar experiments. 相似文献

We report a compact Ho:YAG laser that is intracavity pumped by a diode-pumped Tm:YLF laser. Both lasers exhibit pulse mode behavior. Operating both crystals at room temperature (25 degrees C), we obtained 1.6 W of average output at 2.09 microm from the Ho:YAG laser for 15.4 W of diode power incident upon the Tm:YLF rod and a slope efficiency of 21%. 相似文献

At liquid-nitrogen temperature, at 10-kHz pulse repetition rate, Q-switched 36-ns pulses with average output power of 4 W at 2.05 μm and 4.5-W continuous wave output power with a total optical-optical conversion efficiency of 30%, were achieved from a 6% Tm, 0.5% Ho:YLiF4 laser. This laser was endpumped by a fiber-coupled laser diode emitting up to 15 W around 792 nm. The 1-m-long optical fiber carrying the pump radiation has a core diameter of 700 μm with a numerical aperture of 0.22. 相似文献

We report on a passively Q-switched end pumped Nd:YLF laser including a noncritically phase-matched KTP singly resonant intracavity
optical parametric oscillator (IOPO-KTP). For the Q-switching operation we have used Cr:YAG saturable absorber. The optimized
passively Q-switched Nd:YLF laser without IOPO generated linearly polarized pulses of 11.5 ns and 1.07 mJ at 1047 nm. The
conversion efficiency of the optimized Q-switched pulse energy at 1047 nm to 1547 nm of a signal approached about 47%. For
optimizing both Nd:YLF laser and IOPO we have numerically solved a theoretical model. We have achieved 1.6-ns duration pulses
at 1547 nm with energy of 0.5 mJ and peak power of above 300 kW. The beam quality was excellent (M2 ≈1). 相似文献

In this paper, we compare the performances of a Tm,Ho:YLF microchip laser when pumped by a Ti:sapphire laser and by a fiber-coupled
diode laser. We report the performances obtained for both pumping schemes. Afterwards, we analyse, the reasons for the reduction
in efficiency. Using a theoretical model, we conclude that the loss in performance for diode pumping is essentially due to
the pump power reflected by the laser cavity when the crystal faces present parasitic reflectivity at the pump wavelength.

In this paper, we report a high power cryogenic cooling Tm(6 at.-%),Ho(0.5 at.-%):YLF laser end-pumped by a 19-fiber-coupled-diodes module with the central wavelength of 792 nm at 20°. The highest continuouswave power of 3.6 W at 2.051 μm is attained under pumping power of 13.6 W, corresponding to opticaloptical conversion efficiency of 26%, and the slope efficiency is larger than 30%. The threshold power is only about 0.16 W because of the long lifetime, large effective emission cross section, and low re-absorption in Tm,Ho:YLF crystal. 相似文献

A diode-end-pumped high repetition rate, high peak power acousto-optical (AO) Q-switched 946 nm Nd:YAG laser was demonstrated
in this paper. In our experiments, a 20 mm miniature acousto-optical Q-switch was employed in a 45 mm linear laser cavity
for generating the short laser pulse. At a repetition rate of 10 kHz, a maximum average output power of 2.9 W was achieved
with a pulse width of 24.4 ns, giving a peak power of 11.9 kW. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest peak power
946 nm Nd:YAG laser at high repetition rate operation. Moreover, pulse train with good stability was also obtained at the
repetition rate of 50 kHz. At an incident pump power of 22.3 W, up to an average output power of 3.5 W pulsed 946 nm laser
was generated at 50 kHz with a pulse width of 69 ns, corresponding to an optical conversion efficiency of 15.7% and an average
slope efficiency of 24.1%, respectively. 相似文献

根据激光二极管纵向抽运Tm,Ho:YLF激光器的能级跃迁和能量传递过程,在考虑能量传递上转换(ETU)的情况下,建立了Tm,Ho:YLF主动调Q激光器的准三能级速率方程,得出了激光单脉冲能量的解析表达式.在理论上指出,能量传递上转换不但减小了输出单脉冲能量,而且严重减小了激光上能级寿命.实验上给出了在固定抽运功率下,单脉冲能量随重复频率的变化关系,验证了理论所指出的能量传递上转换减小了激光上能级寿命.

A Nd:YAG laser passively Q-switched by a Cr:YAG showed a high single pulse energy of 53.0 mJ and 5.1 MW peak power. The laser was pumped by quasi-continuous-wave diode bars from single side. The Q-switched pulse had optical-to-optical efficiency of 12% and average temporal duration of 10.4 ns when Cr:YAG with initial transmission of 9.0% was used. Intense pumping as well as very low initial transmission of the saturable absorber gave very high peak power. 相似文献
