Intra-Cavity Tm:YAG-Ho:GdVO4 Laser with near Diffraction Limited Beam Quality
CRYSTALS(2022)
Abstract
In this study, an Er:YAG laser pumped intra-cavity Tm:YAG-Ho:GdVO4 laser was built and debuted at room temperature. At an incident pump power of 9.2 W, this laser obtained a maximum output power of 1.6 W with a slope efficiency of 28.0%. Additionally, the M-2 factors at the maximum output power were measured to be 1.06 and 1.03 in the x and y directions, respectively. The results showed that the intra-cavity pumping method of combining thulium and holmium crystals as the gain medium was an effective way to obtain a 2 mu m laser with near diffraction limited beam quality.
