A pulse width of 7.1 ns is achieved at a wavelength of 1996.9 nm. A maximum output power of 3.02 W is obtained with a pump power of 58.8 W at a repetition rate of 100 k Hz and a high-voltage time of 1000 ns, corresponding to an overall optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 5.2%. In addition, we study the effect of repetition rate and high-voltage time on the output power characteristics of a cavity-dumped Tm：YAP laser.展开更多

At the pulse repetition frequency of i kHz, we demonstrate a maximum energy of 30mJ per pulse with a 28.2ns pulse width in a Ho：YAG oscillator system resonantly double-end-pumped by Tm：YLF lasers. A maximum energy of 52mJ per pulse with a 30.5ns pulse width is achieved in the Ho： YA G amplifier, corresponding to a peak power of approximately 1.7 MW. The output wavelength is at 2090.6nm and 2096.9nm, and a beam quality factor of M2-2.1 is achieved.展开更多

A middle infrared ZnGeP2 optical parametric oscillator(ZGP-OPO) pumped by a Q-switched Ho:YAG laser is employed as the ultrasonic excitation source. The ZGP-OPO has a spectral range of 3.2–3.4 μm. At an output wavelength of 3.4 μm, the maximum average output power of ZGP-OPO is 3.05 W with a pulse width of 24.3 ns, corresponding to a peak power of approximately 127.5 kW. The ultrasound is generated by the laser converted from 3.2 to 3.4 μm in the PEEK composite. The maximum ultrasonic signal amplitude in PEEK is 33 mV under the condition of thermoelastic excitation at 3.4 μm. Ablation occurs in the CPRF sample when the energy fluence is over 122.45 m J/cm^2. PEEK has a stronger absorption at 3.4 μm and laser-ultrasound generation is influenced by the wavelength of the laser.展开更多
