We describe a diode-pumped, room-temperature Ho:Tm:YLF power oscillator with an optical-to-optical efficiency of 0.03. A Q -switched output energy of as much as 125 mJ at 6 Hz with a pulse width of 170 ns was obtained. Single-frequency, nearly transform-limited operation of the laser was achieved by injection seeding. Laser performance as a function of laser rod temperature and pump intensity was also investigated. The high power and high beam quality of this laser make it well suited for use as a coherent wind lidar transmitter on a space platform.
我们描述了一种二极管泵浦的室温Ho:Tm:YLF功率振荡器，其光光效率为0.03。在6Hz时获得了高达125mJ的调Q输出能量，脉冲宽度为170ns。通过注入种子实现了激光器的单频、近变换极限运转。还研究了激光性能随激光棒温度和泵浦强度的变化。该激光器的高功率和高光束质量使其非常适合用作空间平台上的相干风激光雷达发射器。
