A Q-switched Ho:YAG spatial ring cavity laser with three corner cube prisms pumped by a 1908 nm fiber laser
We demonstrate a tri-corner cube Q-switched Ho:YAG spatial ring cavity laser, which was resonantly pumped by a 1908 nm fiber laser. The polarization state of the intracavity oscillating laser was adjusted by a half-wave plate, and a continuous s-polarized laser of 2.57 W at 2090.9 nm was obtained at a pump power of 18.5 W, corresponding to an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 13.9 % and a slope efficiency of 33.3 %. When the corner cube prism, which has the weakest anti-misalignment capability, was tilted vertically by 1° or horizontally by 0.92°, the laser could still output the laser. For Q-switched operation, the tri-corner cube Ho:YAG laser has a pulse energy of 9.86mJ and a pulse width of 178.8 ns at a repetition rate of 100 Hz. At the maximum output energy, the beam quality was Mx2 = 1.3, My2 = 1.2.
期刊介绍:
The Journal covers the entire field of infrared physics and technology: theory, experiment, application, devices and instrumentation. Infrared'' is defined as covering the near, mid and far infrared (terahertz) regions from 0.75um (750nm) to 1mm (300GHz.) Submissions in the 300GHz to 100GHz region may be accepted at the editors discretion if their content is relevant to shorter wavelengths. Submissions must be primarily concerned with and directly relevant to this spectral region.
Its core topics can be summarized as the generation, propagation and detection, of infrared radiation; the associated optics, materials and devices; and its use in all fields of science, industry, engineering and medicine.
Infrared techniques occur in many different fields, notably spectroscopy and interferometry; material characterization and processing; atmospheric physics, astronomy and space research. Scientific aspects include lasers, quantum optics, quantum electronics, image processing and semiconductor physics. Some important applications are medical diagnostics and treatment, industrial inspection and environmental monitoring.
