Continuous wave, 30 W laser-diode bar with 10 GHz linewidth for Rb laser pumping.

چکیده
A laser-diode bar incorporated into an external cavity with a volume Bragg mirror produced 30 W of cw output power within a 20 pm (10 GHz) spectral linewidth (FWHM) centered at 780 nm. The device output power exceeded 90% of that for the free-running laser-diode bar. The emission wavelength was tuned over a 400 pm range without broadening laser spectrum width. Absorption of 90% of the laser radiation by a 25 mm vapor cell containing Rb that has been pressure broadened with 300 torr of ethane was demonstrated.

Frequency-narrowed diode array bar.
We describe a method to frequency narrow multielement high-power diode bars. Using a commercial 60-W, 49-element, 1-cm-long diode array bar at 795 nm running at 45 W, we narrow the linewidth from 1000 to 64 GHz with only a loss of 33% in output power. The resulting laser light is well suited for spin-exchange optical pumping of noble gas nuclei.
متن کامل1.2 A tunable injection-seeded terahertz-wave parametric generator using a compact, diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser
We developed a compact (30 cm × 65 cm) tunable injection-seeded terahertz-wave parametric generator (is-TPG) with a diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser that was specially designed for pumping the is-TPG. The pump laser, which produced an output energy of 11 mJ in a single Q-switched pulse with a pulse width of 6 ns, was operated with MgO:LiNbO3 crystals and a seed source for the idler wave. A narrow THz-...

متن کاملSpectroscopic properties and laser performance of resonantly-pumped cryo-cooled Er³⁺:GdVO₄.
We report a highly efficient cryo-cooled eye-safe laser operation of a resonantly-pumped (in-band) Er³⁺:GdVO₄ single crystal. The maximum continuous wave (CW) power of 10.3 W with 84% slope efficiency was achieved at 1598.7 with pumping at 1538.6 nm by a spectrally-narrowed Er-fiber laser. Under the 1529 nm resonant pumping by a commercially available diode bar stack operating in a quasi-CW (QC...
متن کاملA compact extended-cavity diode laser with a Littman configuration
We have constructed a compact extended-cavity diode laser (ECDL) that is based on a Littman configuration with a grating and a reflector. The whole structure is installed in a 2-inch kinematic mount. ECDLs operating at 852 nm (Cs 2 line), 894 nm (Cs 1 line), 780 nm (Rb 2 line), and 794 nm (Rb 1 line) were fabricated and tested. As a result of the performance test, up to 9 GHz continuous tuning ...
