Compact diodepumped laser produces 23 W at 10kH¥repetition rates
Researchers at Light Solutions Corp. (Acton, MA) produced 23 W of polarized, Qswitched output at repetition rates of 10 kH¥from a compact diodepumped CW Nd:YAG laser. The output is of sufficiently high beam quality and short pulse length that it can be efficiently frequencydoubled externally. In this configuration, u¥to 10 W of green output has been produced in 25ns pulses at 10 kHz.
