Abstract

Abstract: In this study, a laser diode dual-end-pumped Tm:YLF slab laser has been developed. Without using a Fabry–Pérot etalon or a volume Bragg grating, the emission wavelength was selected by different transmissions of the output coupler. The single emission wavelength of 1908.6 nm (1886.4 nm) is selected by the T = 20% ( T = 40%) transmission of the output coupler with an FWHM of approximately 1.36 nm (1.10 nm). The corresponding maximum continuous-wave output power of 213 W (173 W) was acquired. The output power stability is about 0.16% (0.23%) in 30 minutes. The optical-to-optical efficiency and slope efficiency are 35.8% (29%) and 43.7% (37.9%), respectively.
