A high-power dual-crystal Tm:YLF laser with 80.9% slope efficiency
【摘要】 We demonstrate a high-power continuous-wave Tm:YLF laser with exceptional efficiency,achieved through laser diode end-pumping of dual Tm:YLF crystals in a thermally insensitive resonator at room temperature.The performance of the Tm:YLF laser system has been thoroughly investigated,covering output power,efficiency,power stability,and beam quality.A maximum output power of 45.85 W was achieved with an absorbed pump power of 60.89 W.The slope efficiency and absorbed-to-optical conversion efficiency were 80.9% and 75.3%,respectively.The laser exhibits excellent stability,with an RMS power stability of 0.33%.The beam quality(M~2) of the Tm:YLF laser in the horizontal and vertical directions were 1.01 and 1.05,respectively.This high-performance laser source is ideal for pumping holmium-doped crystals to generate 2-μm laser and mid-infrared laser generation via nonlinear optical processes.
