LD pumped 2 μm solid-state laser with high pulsed repetition rate

  • A CW LD end pumped high pulsed repetition rate (PRF) Tm,Ho:YLF laser was reported. The fiber-coupled laser diode of 792 nm as a pumping source pumped the liquid-nitrogen-cooled Tm,Ho:YLF crystal. The average output power of 4 W was obtained and extraction efficiency was more than 85% in dynamic running. The PRF varied from 1~50 kHz by using an A-O Q-switch. The peak power of 12 kW and pulse width of 32 ns were achieved at PRF of 10 kHz. At the same time several important factors in the 2 μm laser design were analyzed.
