A compact diode-pumped Er, Yb:phosphate glass laser was developed for applications in eyesafe distance ranging and remote sensing. Under conduction cooling condition of laser diode arrays and laser active medium, the glass laser has the output pulse energy of 107 mJ at 5 Hz, and 80 mJ at 10 Hz, which correspond to optical-to-optical conversion efficiencies of 7.6% and 5.8%, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
