Air-cooled diode-end-pumped Nd:YLF MOPA

Summary form only. Diode-pumped lasers have the potential of high efficiency, compactness and air-cooling. As an example, a 30 mJ diode-end-pumped air-cooled Nd:YAG master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) (now commercially available from Thomson-CSF Laser as DIVA) has previously been reported. The...

Zusammenfassung:Summary form only. Diode-pumped lasers have the potential of high efficiency, compactness and air-cooling. As an example, a 30 mJ diode-end-pumped air-cooled Nd:YAG master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) (now commercially available from Thomson-CSF Laser as DIVA) has previously been reported. The oscillator and the amplifier used the same pumping head, each made of a 1-kW-peak-power high-brightness stack coupled to a Nd:YAG crystal by a lens duct. We give an example using Nd:LiYF/sub 4/ as the active crystal.
