Efficient Er:Yag Lasers At 1645.55 Nm, Resonantly Pumped With Narrow Bandwidth Diode Laser Modules At 1532 Nm, For Methane Detection
Proceedings of SPIE(2013)
Abstract
Eye safe laser operation at 1645.55 nm (6077 cm(-1)) of resonantly pumped Er:YAG laser systems is demonstrated in cw and Q-switched operation. High brightness diode laser modules emitting at 1532 nm have been utilized as pump sources providing an absorption efficiency of up to 96%. This leads to an overall efficiency of the Er:YAG laser of 30%. For cw operation, 9 W output power is possible at pump power of 30 W while Q-switching results in generation of more than 7 mJ pulses with duration of 60 ns and repetition rate of 500 Hz. The Er:YAG laser systems have been applied for methane detection measurements demonstrating their feasibility for CH4-DIAL applications
