With an optical conversion efficiency of 38% and 34%, average powers of 23 and 20 W in CW and Q-switched modes were achieved respec- tively. The maximum pulse energy of 27 mJ was observed with a repetition rate of 840 Hz.展开更多

Two above conversion fluorescent peaks were observed at 534 nm and 600 nm. The composition and preparation technique of Nd∶KGW luminescent material matrix were investigated, and the mechanism of above conversion luminescence was disscussed. The role of sensitizer (Ce 3+ ) in enhancing luminescence strength was initially studied.展开更多

The absorption spectrum and fluorescence spectrum of Nd^3 ＋ ： KGW crystal were measured. The absorption cross sections at 808 nm（0. 6799 × 10^-20 cm^2） were calculated, and the output wavelength of fluorescence is 1064 and 1351 nm. The diode-pumped laser was operated both in the free-running and passively Q-switched operating modes. The maximum laser output（1064 nm） is 326 mW with 62.7 % slope efficiency when input energy is 900 mW. The beam quality factor M^2 ≈ 1.1. The green light of 532 nm is obtained in frequency doubling operation. The laser is passively Q-switched by using Cr^4＋ ：LuAG as saturable absorber. The pulse width is 170 ns at repetitive frequency of 15 kHZ.展开更多
