Currently, there are few reports of high power 1319 nm continuous lasers with high beam quality. We have demonstrated a high output power, high beam quality 1319 nm continuous-wave laser by laser diode end-pumped Nd:YAG slab with a stable-unstable hybrid resonator. With a pumping power of 477 W, an output of 96.8 W was obtained with a slope efficiency of 26.5% and stability of 0.27%. A single wavelength laser operation at 1318.7 nm was demonstrated. At an output of 91.1 W, the beam quality factors M<sup>2</sup> in stable and unstable directions were 2.95 and 1.88, respectively.展开更多

A chain output power of 5210 W with beam quality of 4 times the diffraction limit is achieved by double-passing the first amplifier stage and single-passing the second stage with an optical efficiency of 29% while working at a frequency of 1kHz and pulse width of 200 μs.展开更多

Combining the hybrid resonator with partially end-pumping, the output power can be scaled with high beam quality. In this paper, the output intensity distributions are simulated by coordinate transformation fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm, comparing the thermal lens influence. As the simulated curves showed, the output mode is still good when the thermal lens effect is strong, indicating the good thermal stability of InnoSlab laser. Such a new kind of laser can be designed and optimized on the base of this simulation.展开更多
