Cr4+:YAG is a new saturable absorber for passive Q-switching. As a passive Q-switcher, it has several excellent properties, such as low saturation fluence, high damage threshold, good thermal conductivity, no degradation and so on. By using a laser-diode as pumping source and Cr4+ :YAG as passive Q switcher, the passive Q-switching run in Nd: Sr5(VO4)3F laser at 1. 065 μm is realized. The average output power, the single pulse energy, the pulse width and the repetition rate for different small-signal transmission of Cr4+:YAG and different pumping power were measured. Meanwhile, the coupling rate equations for Cr4+:YAG as passive Q-switcher were given and the experimental results agreed with the numerical solution of equations. 相似文献

A diode-end-pumped Nd:YAG laser is passively Q-switched by using Cr4+:YAG as saturable absorber. When CW pumped with a laser diode which the maximum power is 550 mW, the laser produces pulses of 24 ns duration at 1064 nm, with an energy of 26 μJ. 相似文献
Passive Q-switching of a laser-diode-pumped intracavity-frequency-doubling Nd:NYW/KTP laser has been realized with GaAs semiconductor saturable absorber. The dependence of pulse repetition rate, pulse energy, and pulse width on incident pump power are measured. The coupled rate equations are used to simulate the Q-switched process of laser, and the numerical solutions agree with the experimental results. 相似文献
Hexagonal Ca5(PO4)3F, known as natural crystal fluorapatite and oldest host‐crystal for Ln3+‐lasant ions, is presented as a Raman‐active material. High‐order Raman‐induced χ(3)‐nonlinear processes are discovered in natural crystals of fluorapatite under picosecond pumping at 1.064 μm and 0.532 μm wavelength. A multitude of Stokes and anti‐Stokes components is generated in the ultraviolet, visible and near‐infrared spectral region by stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and Raman four‐wave mixing (FWHM), resulting in a frequency comb with a width of 520 THz. The spectral lines are identified and attributed to the ν1(Ag) vibration mode of the tetrahedral [PO4] units which is related to a Raman shift of ωSRS ≈ 965 cm−1. The first Stokes steady‐state Raman gain coefficient in the near‐infrared spectral range is estimated to be >0.38 cm·GW−1. Finally, a short review of SRS‐promoting vibration modes and observed χ(3)‐ nonlinear interactions in all known SRS‐active natural crystals (minerals) is given.
By using a laser-diode as pump source, a Cr4+ :YAG crystal as saturable absorber for passive Q-switch and a KTP as intracavity frequency doubling crystal, we have realized the green Q-switched laser output at 0.5295 μm from a Nd: S-FAP crystal. Output green laser characteristics, such as average power, single pulse energy, pulse width, repetition rate for different small-signal transmission of Cr4+ :YAG and different pump power, were measured. Meanwhile, the coupling rate equations of intracavity frequency doubling with Cr4+ :YAG as passive Q-switch were given and the numerical solution of equations agreed with the experimental results. 相似文献
The transmission and emission spectra of a new crystal, Nd:NaY(WO4)2(Nd:NYW) have been measured. Using a Ti: Sapphire laser as the pump source, the laser performances of Nd: NYW crystals with different concentrations are compared for the first time. The Nd3 concentrations used are 1, 2, 4 and 5 at.-% . The experiments show that 2 at.-% is the optimum concentration. When the incident pump power is 575 mW, the 1. 06 μm output can reach 184 mW, corresponding to an optical to optical efficiency of 32 % . The experimental results show that the work is significant to the further research and praction application of this promising laser crystal. 相似文献
