A new approach (ThinZag®) for scaling Nd:YAG solid-state slab lasers to high power levels is described. Using an innovative optical configuration, thin slabs of solid-state gain material are immersed in a flowing cooling fluid, resulting in improved thermal management. Measurements at the ~1 kW level were conducted to compare Nd:YAG ceramic with Nd:YAG crystalline slabs. The ceramic slabs demonstrated...
We demonstrated 105 W pico-second output from a cascaded Nd:YVO4 amplifier laser system consisting of a Nd:YVO4 bounce amplifier with a photorefractive phase-conjugate mirror and a second diode-side-pumped Nd:YVO4 bounce power amplifier.
We report efficient second harmonic generation of 20.5 W continuous wave laser radiation at 1342 nm using MgO:PPLN. A second harmonic power of 9.5 W in a diffraction limited beam was reached, giving an efficiency of 46%.
Power scaling of end-pumped Nd:GdVO4 laser was realized by directly pumping and grown-together crystal. A maximum CW output power of 46.0W with M2 <; 1.1 was obtained. Effective A-O Q-switch operations were also reported.
The refractive index changes which can be induced in pumped Nd3+ and Yb3+ doped laser materials have been measured using two pump-probe techniques. Transient signal analysis allows to discriminate electronic and thermal contributions.
