摘要
We report a Q-switched 2-μm Tm：YAG laser based on intracavity-pumped by a 1064-nm Nd：YAG laser operating at room temperature for the first time. An average output power of 5.1W is obtained with the repetition rate of 30kHz and a pulse width of 300ns. In addition, we demonstrate a 12.5-W continuous-wave 2-μm Tm：YAG laser, which is, to our best knowledge, the highest power for intracavity-pumping configuration.
