Abstract

A diode-pumped passively Q-switched Nd:YAG/KLu(WO 4) 2 (KLW) Raman laser is presented for the first time. As high as 1. 89 W average output power is obtained at the pump power of 15. 7 W with the pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of 27. 2 kHz, and the corresponding diode-to-Stokes conversion efficiency is 12. 0%. The highest pulse energy of 84. 0 μJ is obtained. The obtained average output power and pulse energy are much higher than the previously reported results of diode-pumped passively Q-switched Raman lasers.
