摘要
In this study, we present a high peak power Ho :YLF amplifier seeded by an electro-optically diodepumped Ho :GdVO(4 )laser operating at 2.05 mu m. The diode-pumped Ho :GdVO4 laser, operating under a continuous-wave (CW) regime, achieved an output power of 7.1 W at an absorbed pump power of 28 W, resulting in a slope efficiency of 41.4%. At a repetition rate of 1 kHz, the laser delivered an average output power of 3.6 W with a pulse width of 4.3 ns. By utilizing a Ho :YLF crystal as the amplification medium, with a seed power of 3 W and an incident pump power of 22.5 W, the amplifier generates an average output power of 15.5 W with a pulse width of 4.5 ns. We calculate the maximum pulse energy and peak power to be 15.5 mJ and 3.4 MW, respectively.
