Abstract:
A compact acousto-optically Q-switched Yb : Er laser emitting 20-ns pulses at λ = 1.5 μm with an energy of 8 mJ and a repetition rate of 10 Hz is developed. The laser radiation divergence at the exit of an optical forming system is 1 mrad. The experimental sample can stably operate in a wide temperature range with unchanged output parameters. The developed laser is 110 × 30 × 30 mm in size taking into account the dimensions of the optical forming system. Life tests demonstrated stable continuous operation of the sample for 50000 pulses.
Keywords:
