The room-temperature, water-cooled, diode pumped Tm:YLF laser head was elaborated and examined. For pumping the fiber coupled (0.2 mm core diameter) 25-W laser diode bar emitting at 792-nm wavelength was deployed. Near 5 W of CW output power and 25% slope efficiency was demonstrated in a short, 70-m
We report a diode-pumped CW Tm:YLF laser at room temperature with a volume Bragg grating (VBG) instead of the conventional mirror. The Tm:YLF laser operated at 1909.5 nm with output power 6.0 W. The optical-to-optical conversion efficiency is 25.7% and slope efficiency is 37.4%. Also, a stable outpu
High-power diode end-pumped continuous-wave Tm:LiLuF4 laser was demonstrated with different output couplers. At the absorbed pump power of 27.2 W, the maximum output power of 7.3 W around 1916 nm was obtained with the output transmission of 10%. The optical conversion efficiency is 26.9%, correspond
