Diode-Pumped Q-Switched Yb:YAG Laser. (Reannouncement with New AvailabilityInformation)

摘要

A cw-pumped, repetitively Q-switched, InGaAs-diode-pumped Yb:YAG laser has beendemonstrated at room temperature. An output energy of as much as 72 microJoules pulse at 1.03 micrometers with a pulse length as short as 11 ns (FWHM) was attained. No optical damage was observed despite the high saturation fluence approx(10 J/sq cm) of the Yb:YAG laser and the short pulse length.
