Study on Laser-diode-end-pumped Nd:YLF Laser Amplifier
-
Abstract
The study on high power laser diode arrays end-pumping Nd:YLF laser amplifier is discussed in this paper. The amplifier’s coupling structure ineludes a microlens which collimates the pumping light and a lensduct which focuses it into the laser rod. Its coupling efficiency is up to 72.2%. The slope efficiency of the laser oscillator composed by the amplifier is 35.9%. A small signal gain of 2.66 is obtained at 1053nm.
