    • Efficient diode-pumped Tm:KYW 1.9-μm microchip laser with 1 W cw output power 

      Gaponenko, M. S.; Kuleshov, N. V.; Südmeyer, T. (Optical Society of America, 2014)
      We report on a diode-pumped Tm:KYW microchip laser generating 1 W continuous-wave output power. The laser operates at a wavelength of 1.94 μm in the fundamental TEM00 mode with 71% slope efficiency relative to the absorbed pump radiation and 59% slope efficiency relative to the incident pump radiation. The optical-to-optical laser efficiency is 43%.

    • Passively Q-Switched Thulium Microchip Laser 

      Gaponenko, M.; Kuleshov, N.; Südmeyer, T. (2016)
      We present the first passively Q-switched thulium microchip laser. The diode-pumped laser incorporates a Tm:KYW gain medium and an InGaAs semiconductor saturable absorber mirror. The laser emits pulses with a duration of 2.4 ns at a repetition rate of 1.2 MHz with an average output power of 130 mW at a wavelength of 1905 nm. It operates in a fundamental TEM00 mode with M2 < 1.1. ...
