Abstract

We report an efficient Ho:YAG laser end pumped by Tm:YLF lasers with double-pass pumping. We achieve the maximum continuous wave (CW) output power of 46.0 W with a single-pass pumping and 50.2 W with a double-pass pumping, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 58.0% and 62.8%, respectively. In addition, we use the Ho:YAG laser as a pumping source of the ZnGeP₃ optical parametric oscillator (OPO) and obtain the maximum average output power of 14.2 W with a linear cavity and 17.0 W with a ring resonator, respectively.
