A Linearly Polarized Ho:YAG Laser at 2.09 μm with Corner Cube Cavity Pumped by Tm:YLF Laser

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A linearly polarized operation Ho:YAG laser at 2090.5 nm with a corner cube cavity is demonstrated. A polarizer with high reflectivity for the s-polarized light at the laser wavelength is employed to achieve a linearly polarized laser. In the same case of resonator length, the corner cube can be used to cut the volume of the Ho:YAG laser and to enhance the stability of the system. The maximum linearly polarized output power of 5.8W is achieved at the absorbed pump power of 23.3 W, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 29.7%, and the optical-optical conversion efficiency is around 24.9%. The M2 factors of the 2.09 μm laser are 2.4 and 1.2 along the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively.
