Dynamic multimode analysis of Q-switched solid state laser cavities.
We derive a new model and simulation technique called "Dynamic Multimode Analysis (DMA)" to simulate the 3-dimensional dynamic behavior of a laser. A Gaussian mode analysis is used to obtain resonator eigenmodes taking into account thermal aberrations. These modes are coupled by a set of rate equations to describe the dynamic behavior of the individual modes for cw and Q-switched lasers. Our ap...
متن کاملPassively Q-switched diode-pumped Er:YAG solid-state laser.
We demonstrated laser operation of a passively Q-switched diode-pumped Er:YAG solid-state laser emitting at 1645 or 1617 nm depending on the initial transmission of the Cr:ZnSe saturable absorber. The crystal emitted up to 10 W at 1645 nm and up to 8 W at 1617 nm in CW mode while pumped with 65 W of incident pump power at 1533 nm. In passive Q-switched mode with 40 W of incident power, a Cr:ZnS...
متن کاملPicosecond laser pulse generation in a monolithic self-Q-switched solid-state laser
We report the generation of laser pulses of 290-ps duration with 8-N pulse energy in single longitudinal mode and single transverse mode in a diode-end-pumped monolithic self-Q-switched Cr,Nd:YAG laser. The most commonly used method of generating picosecond laser pulses is the mode-locking technique. Mode-locking generally requires a light modulator such as an intracavity acousto-optical modula...

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 ...
