Tm(3+):YLF laser continuously tunable between 2.20 and 2.46 microns

Room-temperature, continuous-wave laser action at 2.3 microns corresponding to the 3H4 - 3H5 transition in Tm(3+)-doped YLF is achieved. Output powers of 200 mW and a slope efficiency of 15 percent have been obtained for a pump power of 2 W at 0.78 micron. In addition, continuous tunability of this...

Zusammenfassung:Room-temperature, continuous-wave laser action at 2.3 microns corresponding to the 3H4 - 3H5 transition in Tm(3+)-doped YLF is achieved. Output powers of 200 mW and a slope efficiency of 15 percent have been obtained for a pump power of 2 W at 0.78 micron. In addition, continuous tunability of this laser from 2.20 to 2.46 microns is obtained. (Author)
