Abstract

A compact diode-pumped passively Q-switched Tm,Ho:LuLiF₄ laser with a Cr:ZnS saturable absorber is demonstrated for the first time. The maximum average output power of 74 mW is achieved at the absorbed pump power of 1.5 W, and the threshold power is only 0.68 W. The laser operates at the wavelength of 2,055 nm and produces pulses with near constant duration of 1.2 μs and pulse energy of 13 μJ at the pulse repetition frequency from 1 to 5.2 kHz. The stable long-pulse laser can be used in laser lidar systems for accurate wind velocity measurements.
