Abstract

A diode pumped, injection-seeded Q-switched Er: YAG laser at 1645.2 nm is demonstrated. A single frequency Er: YAG monolithic nonplanar ring oscillator (NPRO) laser emitting at 1645.24 nm with a maximum output power of 500 mW is used as a seed laser. The seed laser output is injected into a bow-tie slave laser, obtaining stable single-frequency Q-switched operation of the Er: YAG laser. The maximum single-frequency Q-switched Er: YAG laser output energy is 2.9 mJ at 100 Hz with a pulse duration of 160 ns.
