Efficient, high-power operation of CW Yb:YAG and Q-switched Nd:YAG planar waveguide lasers
The planar waveguide gain medium o ers a good approach to creating a high- power lasers. Excellent thermal properties allow for lasers with good beam-quality and high-e ciency. A Neodymium doped YAG planar waveguide laser was actively Q-switched using a hybrid unstable resonator and acousto-optic mo...
