摘要
High efficient continuous wave (CW) and acousto-optical (AO) Q-switched operation of a b-cut Tm,Ho:YAlO3 (Tm,Ho:YAP) laser are reported in the paper. The Tm,Ho:YAP crystal was cooled by liquid nitrogen and pumped by a fiber-coupled laser diode (LD). Different pump wavelengths were tried in the experiment. An 8.36-W output power was acquired at 2.12 mu m in the CW operation with an optical-optical conversion efficiency of 33.3%, and an 8.14-W average power was obtained at the pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of 10 kHz with an optical-optical conversion efficiency of 32.4%.
