We present significantly improved performance data of a diode-pumped -switched Alexandrite laser in single longitudinal mode operation developed as a beam source for resonance lidar systems. The average output power of the laser-operating at the potassium resonance at 770 nm with a linewidth below 10 MHz-could be increased by a factor of five to the Watt-level by means of an optimized resonator design and pump scheme. The pulse energy is 1.7 mJ with a beam quality of ≤1.1 in both spatial directions at a repetition rate of 500 Hz.
我们展示了经过显著改进的二极管泵浦 - 开关 Alexandrite 激光在单纵模运行中的性能数据,该激光作为共振激光雷达系统的光束源。通过优化的谐振腔设计和泵浦方案,激光在 770nm 的钾共振处以低于 10MHz 的线宽运行,其平均输出功率增加了五倍,达到瓦级。在 500Hz 的重复率下,其脉冲能量为 1.7mJ,光束质量在两个空间方向上均小于 1.1。
