A medium-power all-solid-state diode-pumped cw Nd:YAG laser, passively Q-switched employing Cr4+:YAG as saturable absorber, has been developed. Optimum coupling operation at the 1064 nm working wavelength resulted in 100 uJ, 36 ns, nearly diffraction limited pulses at 15 kHz repetition frequency, with 1.5 W average power output. We discuss the characterisation of the passive Q-switching elements and the laser operation.

Abstract

A medium-power all-solid-state diode-pumped cw Nd:YAG laser, passively Q-switched employing Cr4+:YAG as saturable absorber, has been developed. Optimum coupling operation at the 1064 nm working wavelength resulted in 100 uJ, 36 ns, nearly diffraction limited pulses at 15 kHz repetition frequency, with 1.5 W average power output. We discuss the characterisation of the passive Q-switching elements and the laser operation.

Applied Physics/Condensed Matter/Materials Science encompasses the resources of three related disciplines: Applied Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, and Materials Science. The applied physics resources are concerned with the applications of topics in condensed matter as well as optics, vacuum science, lasers, electronics, cryogenics, magnets and magnetism, acoustical physics and mechanics. The condensed matter physics resources are concerned with the study of the structure and the thermal, mechanical, electrical, magnetic and optical properties of condensed matter. They include superconductivity, surfaces, interfaces, thin films, dielectrics, ferroelectrics and semiconductors. The materials science resources are concerned with the physics and chemistry of materials and include ceramics, composites, alloys, metals and metallurgy, nanotechnology, nuclear materials, adhesion and adhesives. Resources dealing with polymeric materials are listed in the Organic Chemistry/Polymer Science category.
