100-W Q-switched Cryogenically Cooled Yb:YAG Laser

This work describes a cryogenic, electro-optically Q-switched Yb:YAG laser that generates 114-W average TEM[subscript 00] power with 47% optical-to-optical efficiency. Pulse repetition frequency is 5 kHz, pulse duration is 16 ns full-width at half-maximum, and M[superscript 2] is less than 1.05.
