摘要：
Efficient solid-state lasers that operate near 2-mu m wavelength at room temperature are needed for many applications. Using a flash-lamp as the pump light, we investigated normal-mode and Q-switched Cr-Tm:YAG 2 mu m laser performance at room temperature. When the repetition rate was 1 Hz, more than 4 J normal-mode and 0.7 J/140 ns laser pulses with single transverse mode have been obtained. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
