报道了一台端面泵浦的Nd：YLF激光器，在5~30 kHz的重复频率范围内，获得了60.3W的连续输出功率和超过52W的调Q平均功率。为了实现这一点，推导了一种估算和优化端面泵浦激光增益介质中非饱和增益的解析解。本文提出的方法应该为将端面泵浦激光器扩展到更高的功率和能级开辟了道路。
An end-pumped Nd:YLF laser was demonstrated, which delivered 60.3 W continuous-wave and more than 52 W Q-switched average power for all repetition rates from 5 to 30 kHz. To achieve this, an analytical solution to estimate and optimize the unsaturated gain in an end-pumped laser gain medium was derived. The approach presented here should open up the route for scaling end-pumped lasers to even higher power and energy levels.
