简介:Diode-pumpedpassivelyQ-switchedNd:GdVO4/Cr4+:YAGlaserswithasimpleflat-flatcavityweredemonstrated.Themaximumaverageoutputpowerat1.06μmwas1.25W.Thehighestpeakpowerandpulseenergywere7.56kWand75μJ,respectively,withthepulserepetitionrateof11.1kHzandpulsewidthof10nsattheincidentpumppowerof8W.
简介:Thecavitytuningcharacteristicsoforthogonallypolarizeddual-frequencyHe-Nelaserat1.15μmarepresented.Vectorial-extensionmodelbasedonsemi-classicallasertheoryrevealsthatcavitytuningcharacteristicsarerelatedtobeatfrequency,relativeexcitation,andtypeofNeisotope.Distortionsofcavitytuningcurvesbecomemoderatewiththeincreaseofbeatfrequencybecauseoftheweakeningofthecrosssaturationeffect.Distortionsareenhancedwiththeincreaseofrelativeexcitationbecauseofthecombinedactionoftheself-saturationandcross-saturationeffects.Byadoptingdual-isotopeNeinsteadofmonoiso-toplicNe,distortionsarereducedbecauseofthemisalignmentbetweenpeaksoftheself-saturationandnetgaincoefficients.Thetheoreticalcalculationsareingoodagreementwiththecorrespondingexperimentalresults.
