摘要：

We report a high-power optically-pumped vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser emitting at around 1180 nm. The free-running laser produced 72 W of output power at a heatsink temperature of 0 degrees C and 53 W near room temperature (20 degrees C). The GaAs-based gain mirror was bonded to a 2-mm-thick diamond attached to a TEC-cooled copper mount in order to enable efficient heat extraction for high-power operation. Moreover, the spectrum of the laser was narrowed down to 0.06 nm by employing a combination of a birefringent filter and an etalon inside the cavity which yielded a maximum of 19 W at a heatsink temperature of 20 degrees C. The demonstration opens a new perspective for the realisation of sodium laser guide star adaptive optics employing frequency doubling of 1180 nm radiation.
