Abstract:
The generation characteristics of lasers using YAG and YSGG crystals doped with Cr, Tm, and Ho in periodic-pulse operation have been studied experimentally. The laser using the YAG crystal is preferable for achieving a high pulse repetition frequency at a relatively low pump energy. Ways to expand the range of working frequencies of holmium lasers based on scandium garnets are pointed out.
