โœฆ Synopsis

An efficient diode laser pumped Cs vapor amplifier has been demonstrated. Using a 2 cm long Cs vapor cell pumped by an 18 W laser diode array, an amplification factor of 145 for low power Cs laser radiation was achieved. Such an amplifier or chain of amplifiers can significantly simplify the use of multiple pump sources for scaling the output power of alkali lasers.

We have demonstrated a Cs vapor laser that utilizes fifteen laser diode arrays for transverse pumping of the gain medium. A maximum output power of 28 W was achieved with a total optical to optical efficiency of 14% and a slope efficiency of 15%. Transverse pumping allows scaling of such a laser sys

We report for the first time a continuous wave Yb0.06:Y0.32Gd0.62VO4 (Yb:YGdVO4) laser, based on the 2 F 5/2 -2 F 7/2 transition. The free running Yb:YGdVO 4 thindisk laser oscillation takes place at many different wavelengths, covering a wide range of 1037.
