摘要
We report an efficient high-output periodically diode side-pumped electro-optical (EO), Q-switched Nd:YAG/KGd(WO4)(2) coupled-Cavity Raman laser with conductive and air cooling. A maximum pulse energy of 126 mJ and a peak power of 21 MW are achieved at the first order Stokes Wavelength of 1177 nm under the diodes energy Of 694 mJ, corresponding to an overall Diode-Stokes conversion efficiency of 18.2%. a slope efficiency of 28.8%, and a fundamental-Stokes coupling efficiency of 51.6% [GRAPHICS] Diode-Stokes overall optical efficiency, diode-Stokes slope efficiency, and fundamental-Stokes coupling efficiency with respect to incident pump energy. at 808 nm (C) 2010 by Astro Ltd Published exclusively by WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co KGaA
