Comparison of V:YAG and V:LuAG Saturable Absorbers for Nd:YAG 1338 nm Microchip Laser Q-switching
Original language description
Two Q-switched monolithic microchip laser devices were prepared: Nd:YAG/V:LuAG and Nd:YAG/V:YAG. Active Nd:YAG part, 4 mm long, of both microchip lasers was the same. The thickens of saturable absorbers ensured the same initial transmission (85 %) of thepassive Q-switch part (V:LuAG was 1.1 mm long, V:YAG was 0.7 mm long). The gain medium and the saturable absorber were diffusion bonded to form one monolithic crystal. Laser mirrors were deposited directly onto monolith faces. The output coupler with reflection 90 % for the generated wavelength was placed on the V-doped part. The pump mirror was placed on opposite monolith face. Lasers were tested under longitudinal continuous diode pumping and results were compared. Both lasers generated linearly polarized radiation at wavelength 1338 nm with the lasing threshold 8 W. Comparing the giant pulse parameters and the laser efficiency, the better results were obtained for Nd:YAG/V:YAG microchip laser.
