High-repetition-rate kHz electro-optically Q-switched Ho, Pr: YLF 2.9 µm bulk laser
Abstract:
In this study, we operated a novel bulk laser: a dual-end-pumped electro-optically (EO) Q-switched Ho, Pr:YLF laser at 2945.9 nm with a repetition rate of kHz level. The shortest pulse duration of 25.2 ns was obtained at the repetition rate of 500 Hz, corresponding to a single pulse energy of 0.4 mJ and a peak power of 15.9 kW. A maximum output power of 268 mW was delivered at the repetition rate of 1.5 kHz. The beam quality factors of the EO Q-switched Ho, Pr:YLF laser at the maximum output power were Mx 2 = 1.50 and My 2 = 1.54 in x- and y- directions, respectively. The long-term output power instability was measured to be ± 1.5% (RMS) within five hours. The achieved results indicated the promising potential of Ho, Pr: YLF crystals for high repetition rate Q-switched mid-infrared laser pulse generation very well.
