  • Title: High efficiency, linearly polarized, directly diode-pumped Er:YAG laser at 1617  nm.
    Author: Yu Z, Wang M, Hou X, Chen W.
    Journal: Appl Opt; 2014 Dec 01; 53(34):8032-5. PubMed ID: 25607959.
    Abstract:
    An efficient, directly diode-pumped Er:YAG laser at 1617 nm was demonstrated. A folding mirror with high reflectivity for the s-polarized light at the laser wavelength was used to achieve a linearly polarized laser. A maximum continuous-wave output power of 7.73 W was yielded under incident pump power of 50.57 W, and the optical conversion efficiency with respect to incident pump power was ∼15.28%, which was the highest optical conversion efficiency with directly diode-pumped Er:YAG lasers up to now; in Q-switched operation, the maximum pulse energy of 7.82 mJ was generated with pulse duration of about 80 ns at a pulse repetition frequency of 500 Hz.
