The lasing characteristics of a laser-diode end-pumped Tm:YAG laser were investigated. We obtained a laser output power of 124 mW, a slope efficiency of 36%, and a threshold power of 77 mW with a 3% Tm-doped YAG crystal at room temperature. This lasing performance was improved when the crystal was cooled. The dependencies of both slope efficiency and threshold power on temperature were measured.
研究了激光二极管端面泵浦Tm:YAG激光器的激光特性。在室温下,使用3%掺Tm的YAG晶体,我们获得了124 mW的激光输出功率、36%的斜率效率和77 mW的阈值功率。当晶体冷却时,这种激光性能得到了改善。测量了斜率效率和阈值功率对温度的依赖性。
