Sub-nanosecond Yb:KLu(WO sub(4)) sub(2) microchip laser

A diode-pumped Yb:KLu(WO sub(4)) sub(2) microchip laser passively Q-switched by a Cr super(4+):YAG saturable absorber generated a maximum average output power of 590 mW at 1031 nm with a slope efficiency of 55%. The pulse characteristics were 690 ps/47.6 mu J at a pulse repetition frequency of 12.4...

Zusammenfassung:A diode-pumped Yb:KLu(WO sub(4)) sub(2) microchip laser passively Q-switched by a Cr super(4+):YAG saturable absorber generated a maximum average output power of 590 mW at 1031 nm with a slope efficiency of 55%. The pulse characteristics were 690 ps/47.6 mu J at a pulse repetition frequency of 12.4 kHz. The output beam had an excellent circular profile with M super(2)
