High-Power Acoustic-Optical Q-Switched 1.83 µm Tm-Doped Bulk Laser

We report on a high-power acoustic-optical (AO) Q-switched Tm:YLF laser operating at ~1.83 μm by controlling the transmittance of the output coupler. Under the continuous-wave (CW) operation, the maximum output power of 13 W is achieved, and the slope efficiency is up to 32.7%. With a YAG etalon ins...
