摘要：
A diode pumped Tm3+ doped YAIO(3) (Tm:YAP) self-Q-switched near 2 [fill laser was studied with a compact linear cavity. Stable self-Q-switched laser pulses were obtained at the central wavelength of 1988 nm with the maximum average output power of 1.68 W, corresponding to the slope efficiency of 31.7%. The pulse repetition rate and single pulse energy were 65.16 kHz and 25.7 mu J, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a diode pumped all-solid-state self-Q-switched laser at the 2 mu m region. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
