A diode-pumped dual-loss-modulated Q-switched and mode-locked (QML) Nd:Lu0.15Y0.85VO4 laser at 1.34 μm with single-walled carbon nanotube saturable absorber (SWCNT-SA) and acousto-optic (AO) modulator is demonstrated.
The modulation depth of the dual-loss-modulated QML laser reaches 90%, being deeper than 75% that obtained by the single passively
QML laser. The stability of the hybrid QML laser is significantly improved if compared to that only with SWCNT-SA. The Q-switched
pulse energy and the Q-switched pulse width of the QML laser with the dual-loss-modulation are 487 and 27% of those only with
SWCNT-SA, respectively. 相似文献

By using a new saturable absorber V3+:YAG, a flash-lamp-pumped passively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser at 1.32 μm has been realized. The single-pulse energy and the pulse width of the output laser versus the pump energy are measured. With a cavity length of 440 mm and a pump energy of 43.4 J, the obtained single-pulse output energy and pulse width are 10 mJ and 86.9 ns, respectively, corresponding to a peak power of 115 kW. 相似文献

The performance of a directly LD-pumped passively Q-switched YVO4-Nd:YVO4 laser at 1.34 μm with a V3+:YAG saturable absorber was demonstrated for the first time to the best of our knowledge. The average output power of 580
mW was obtained at the pump power of 8.8 W, corresponding to the optical conversion efficiency of 6.6% and slope efficiency
of 11%. The minimum pulse width was 280 ns with the pulse repetition rate of 230 kHz, which was attained with a T = 5.6% output coupler at the pump power of 8.8 W. 相似文献

Using V3+:YAG crystal as the saturable absorber, a diode-pumped passively Q-switched and mode-locked Nd:GGG laser operating at 1.3
μm is realized for the first time. The mode-locking modulation depth of nearly 100% has been achieved. The maximum output
power and the single Q-switched pulse energy are 410 mW and 8.3 μJ. The mode-locked pulse inside the Q-switched pulse has
a repetition rate of 349 MHz, and its average pulse width is estimated to be about 750 ps. 相似文献

With a plano-concave cavity,diode-pumped continuous-wave(CW) and actively Q-switched Nd:YVO4 laser operating at 1.34 μm is demonstrated.Maximum CW output power of 4.76 W and Q-switched average output power of 2.64 W are obtained with output coupler(transmission T = 3.9%).For the Q-switching operation,the theoretically calculated pulse energy and pulse width,with a pulse repetition frequency(PRF) range of 5-40 kHz,coincide with the experimental results.With a T = 11.9% output coupler,the maximum peak power of 24.3 kW and minimum pulse width of 6.5 ns are obtained when the PRF is 10 kHz.To the best of our knowledge,this is the shortest actively Q-switched pulse duration ever obtained in a 1.3-μm Nd-doped vanadate laser. 相似文献

A diode-pumped 1.34 m Nd:GdVO4 laser operating in cw and active Q-switching modes has been demonstrated. 4.15 W of cw output power was obtained at the highest attainable pump power of 12.3 W, resulting in an optical conversion efficiency of 33.7%, the slope efficiency was determined to be 37.6%. In Q-switching operation, a maximum average output power of 2.7 W was generated at pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of 50 kHz, with an optical conversion efficiency of 22% and a slope efficiency of 29.2%. The laser pulses with shortest duration, highest energy and peak power were achieved at PRF of 10 kHz, the parameters being 15 ns, 160 J, and 10.7 kW, respectively. By intracavity frequency-doubling with a type II phased-matched KTP crystal, 0.62 W average power at 0.67 m was produced at a PRF of 15 kHz, the resulting pulse energy, peak power, and pulse width being 41.3 J, 2.2 kW, and 19 ns, respectively. A group of analytical formulae, based on rate equations, are presented to evaluate the operational parameters of an actively Q-switched laser. Calculated results were found to be in close consistency with the experimental data. 相似文献

By using both acousto-optic (AO) modulator and V3+:YAG saturable absorber, a diode-pumped doubly Q-switched a-cut Nd:GdVO4 laser at 1.34 μm is realized. The average output power and the pulse width for different AO repetition rate f have been measured.
The experimental results show that the doubly Q-switched laser can compress the pulse width and improve the pulsed peak power
in comparison to the singly Q-switched laser with AO or V3+:YAG saturable absorber. At the pump power 10.34 W and f = 10 kHz, the greatest pulse width compression ratio 72% and the highest peak power improvement 8.8 times have been obtained,
respectively. 相似文献

Steady state mode-locked operation of a neodymium laser operating on the 4F3/2 → 4I13/2 transition around 1.3 μm is achieved for the first time using transmitting single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) saturable
absorber. The Nd:YVO4 laser cavity was optimized for large fundamental mode volume generating an average power of 0.8 W at a repetition rate of
127 MHz in a stable train of 16.5 ps long pulses. 相似文献

A novel design of multimode light power splitter is proposed and fabricated by using secondary asymmetric Y branches.An almost equally divided output among output terminals is obtained experimentally.Maskless laser direct writing technique is applied in the fabrication process to facilitate the formation of power splitters by ultraviolet curable polymer.The analysis of the performances of both four-port and eight-port devices shows that these two dividers obtain a power splitting uniformity of more than 95%. 相似文献

Gold nanorods(GNRs) with two different aspect ratios were successfully utilized as saturable absorbers(SAs) in a passively Q-switched neodymium-doped lutetium lithium fluoride(Nd:LLF) laser emitting at 1.34 μm. Based on the GNRs with an aspect ratio of five, a maximum output power of 1.432 W was achieved, and the narrowest pulse width was 328 ns with a repetition rate of 200 kHz. But, in the case of the GNRs with the aspect ratio of eight, a maximum output power of 1.247 W was achieved, and the narrowest pulse width was 271 ns with a repetition rate of 218 kHz. Our experimental results reveal that the aspect ratios of GNRs have different saturable absorption effects at a specific wavelength. In other words, for passively Q-switched lasers at a given wavelength, we are able to select the most suitable GNRs as an SA by changing their aspect ratio. 相似文献

Passively Q-switched output of a diode-pumped 1.34 μm Nd:GdVO4 laser was demonstrated by using Co2+:MgAl2O4(Co2+:MALO) crystal as the saturable absorber for the first time. When the transmission of output mirror is 15%, the Q-switched
pulse width is 110 ns and a corresponding average output power is 460 mW under the pump power of 9.69 W. The optical-optical
conversion efficiency is 36%. At about 330 kHz repetition rate, the single Q-switched pulse energy and the peak power are
about 1.39 μJ and 12.6 W, respectively. 相似文献

A diode-pumped passively Q-switched and mode-locked Nd:GdVO4 laser at 1.34 μm with V3+:YAG as the saturable absorber is realized in a V-type folded cavity. About 100% modulation depth of mode locking can be obtained as long as the pump power reaches the oscillation threshold. The width of the mode-locked pulse is estimated to be less than 280 ps with 200 MHz repetition rate within an about 980 ns-long Q-switched pulse envelope. A maximum output power of 200 mW and Q-switched pulse energy of 5.7 μJ is obtained. 相似文献

The intracavity photon density is assumed to be of Gaussian spatial distributions and its longitudinal variation is also considered in the rate equations for a laser diode (LD) end-pumped passively Q-switched Nd:YVO4 laser with GaAs saturable absorber. These space-dependent rate equations are solved numerically. The dependences of pulse width, pulse repetition rate, single-pulse energy, and peak power on incident pump power are obtained. In the experiment, the LD end-pumped passively Q-switched Nd:YVO4 laser with GaAs saturable absorber is realized and the experimental results are consistent with the numerical solutions. 相似文献

Spectroscopic data of a V3+:YAG passive Q-switch crystal were measured. The absorption recovery time was determined to be of 37±7 ns and the ground state
absorption cross section was estimated to be 0.7×10-18 cm2 at 1.44 μm and 3.5×10-18 cm2 at 1.34 μm. Passively Q-switched operation of diode pumped 1.44 μm and 1.3 μm Nd:YAG lasers was demonstrated using this crystal
as saturable absorber. Average output powers of 1.42 W (1.44 μm) and 1.56 W (1.34 μm) and pulse energies of 24 μJ (1.44 μm)
and 25 μJ (1.34 μm) were observed, respectively.

A master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system in which the output from an end-pumped Nd:YAG oscillator cavity dumped at
500 kHz is scaled up by a four-stage Nd:YVO4 amplifier is reported. Decrease in extraction efficiency of the amplifier chain with crystals different from that in the
oscillator was analyzed. With the 5.4 W seed output, 118 W of power was extracted from the amplifier chain at the pump power
of 345 W, with an extraction efficiency of 34.2% and an overall optical–optical efficiency of 30.9% for the MOPA system. The
beam quality factors were measured as M

2=1.45 and M

By simultaneously using both V3+:YAG and Co:LMA saturable absorbers in the cavity, a diode-pumped doubly passively Q-switched c-cut Nd:GdVO4 laser at 1.34 μm is demonstrated for the first time. The average output power, the pulse width and the pulse repetition rate have been measured. The experimental results show that the doubly passively Q-switched laser can generate shorter pulse width with higher peak power in comparison to the singly passively Q-switched laser only with V3+:YAG or Co:LMA saturable absorber. At the pump power 13 W, the pulse width has been compressed 83% and the peak power has been improved 15 times, respectively. 相似文献
