摘要：
This paper presents a gain-switched Ho:YAG laser at 2090 nm, pumped by a passively Q switched Tm:YLF. A pulse duration of 3.35 ns is achieved with a pulse energy of 0.7 mJ at 1.3-kHz repetition rate, corresponding to 209-kW peak power. The pump energy is 2.8 mJ, corresponding to 25% conversion efficiency with 37% slope efficiency. This laser performance with its compact design can be implemented in applications that require short pulse durations that have not been addressed to date. (c) 2022 Optica Publishing Group
