20 W bounce geometry diode-pumped Nd:YVO4 laser system at 1342 nm

Picosecond laser with 11W output power at 1342nm based on composite multiple doping level Nd:YVO4 crystal

“…Remarkable progress has been made over the past decade in power and energy scaling of CW [1][2][3][4], Q-switched [5,6] and mode-locked [7][8][9][10][11] lasers operating at 1342 nm wavelength.…”

Continuous wave and passively Q-switched Nd:Lu _xY_1-x VO_4 laser at 134 μm with V^3+:YAG as the saturable absorber

“…Our group demonstrated 3.1 W average power output and the shortest pulse width of 7.8 ns from a PQS Nd:Lu x (x = 0.15)Y 1-x VO 4 crystal laser, which showed the widest fluorescence bandwidth in the group of mixed crystal Nd:(Lu,Y, Gd)VO 4 [9]. However, most of attention was paid to 1.06-μm laser operation, and only few research of mixed crystal was on the 1.34 μm laser source, which has wide applications in the fields of medicine, communications and lightsensing [10,11].…”

Passive Q-switching of a diode-side-pumped Nd doped 1.3m ceramic YAG bounce laser

“…Diode-side-pumped bounce amplifier geometry, in which extremely high single-pass gain can be achieved compared with conventional end-pumping geometry, has been shown to produce high power 1.3 lm outputs with high beam quality [10], and it can also allow an easier power scaling of the passively Q-switched laser systems, even with the residual absorption of the saturable absorber.…”
