چکیده
We report on a diode-pumped Tm:KYW microchip laser generating 1 W continuous-wave output power. The laser operates at a wavelength of 1.94 μm in the fundamental TEM(00) mode with 71% slope efficiency relative to the absorbed pump radiation and 59% slope efficiency relative to the incident pump radiation. The optical-to-optical laser efficiency is 43%.

Laser-diode-pumped Nd:YAG active-mirror laser.
We describe a simple design, laser-diode-pumped cw Nd:YAG active-mirror laser and present a thermal analysis of the crystal. A cw output power of 2.4 W and an M(2) beam quality value of less than 1.9 at an incident pumping power of 8.9 W were obtained. From the thermal analysis we predict that the output power can be increased by increasing the pump beam diameter and the pump power at a constan...
متن کاملDiode and fibre pumped Cr2þ:ZnS mid-infrared external cavity and microchip lasers
Demonstrations of CW and pulsed microchip lasing in Cr2þ:ZnS and Cr2þ:ZnSe crystals are reported. Slope efficiencies up to 53% with output power up to 150 mW for CW and energy up to 1 mJ for pulsed pumping were achieved. Two compact diode and Er fibre laser directly pumped external cavity Cr2þ: ZnS lasers are also described.
متن کاملIN-BAND PUMPING OF Nd-BASED SOLID-STATE LASERS
The author is presenting output performances obtained from Nd-based laser materials that were in-band pumped directly into the F3/2 emitting level. Continuous-wave (cw) laser operation at 1.06 μm with slope efficiency of 0.79 in Nd:YAG and 0.80 in Nd:GdVO4 and Nd:YVO4 was realized using an end-pumping configuration and a tunable Ti:Sapphire laser around 0.88 μm as source of excitation. These sl...
متن کاملStable 10 W Er:ZBLAN fiber laser operating at 2.71-2.88 μm.
We have developed a diode-pumped tunable 3 μm fiber laser with a cw output power of the order of 10 W with the use of an erbium-doped ZBLAN fiber. A tunability range of 110 nm (2770 to 2880 nm) with an output power between 8 and 11 W was demonstrated. As the pump power was increased, the center of the wavelength range was shifted toward longer wavelengths, but the width of the wavelength range ...
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...
