Efficient high-power Tm:YAG laser at 2µm end-pumped by a diode-bar
Efficient, room-temperature operation of a Tm:YAG laser, end-pumped by the re-shaped output beam from a 20W diode-bar, is reported. At a rod mount temperature of 20°C and with 13.5W of diode pump power incident on the Tm:YAG rod we obtained 4.1W of output at 2.013µm in a near-diffraction-limited bea...
