Eye-safe solid-state quasi-CW Raman laser with millisecond pulse duration

Eye-safe solid-state quasi-CW Raman laser with millisecond pulse duration

We demonstrate the first quasi-CW (ms-long pulses, pump duty cycle of 10%) end-diode pumped solid state laser generating eye-safe radiation via intracavity Raman conversion. The output power at the first Stokes wavelength (1524nm) was 250mW. A theoretical model was applied to analyze the laser syste...

Zusammenfassung:We demonstrate the first quasi-CW (ms-long pulses, pump duty cycle of 10%) end-diode pumped solid state laser generating eye-safe radiation via intracavity Raman conversion. The output power at the first Stokes wavelength (1524nm) was 250mW. A theoretical model was applied to analyze the laser system and provide routes for optimization. The possibility of true CW operation was discussed.
