Longitudinally diode-pumped ytterbium-erbium glass minilaser

Longitudinally diode-pumped ytterbium-erbium glass minilaser

The prototype of a passively Q-switched, longitudinally diode-pumped erbium glass laser is fabricated. A slope efficiency of 38% is achieved in the free-running lasing regime. It is shown that a pump energy of only 42 mJ is required to generate a 9-ns, 1.8-mJ output pulse with efficiency 4.2%. (lase...
