1053-nm-wavelength selection in a diode-laser-pumped Nd:YLF laser

Abstract

We report on a Nd:YLF laser that operates at 1053 nm without optical intracavity elements for the suppression of the stronger 1047-nm transition. The Nd:YLF crystal is end pumped by a fiber optically coupled 10-W diode-laser bar. The different thermal-lensing focal lengths of the two main lasing wavelengths in a plane-parallel resonator were used to achieve the selection by tilting the end mirror slightly from its optimum position for maximum output power. With 9.8-W cw diode-laser-pumping power the 1053-nm Nd:YLF laser produces a maximum output power of 1.9 W in cw operation and nearly 1 W of average power at a Q-switch repetition rate of 15 kHz. The highest slope efficiency of 47% is achieved in cw operation.
