Abstract

Single-frequency bistability performances from a Tm,Ho: YLF laser with two Fabry-Perot etalons near room temperature is reported. For the first time to our knowledge, the single-frequency bistability at 2.05 μm is displayed in the laser operation with the bistable region width of 0-580 mW and the jump power of 0-78 mW, which can be tuned by regulating the length of the laser resonator. The maximum single frequency output power of 180 mW is obtained at the pump power of 2W, and the laser frequency can be continuously tuned 1.25 GHz. The single frequency bistability laser can be used in laser lidar systems and all-optical switching systems.
