Lasing characteristics of a diode-pumped injection seeded Tm,Ho:GdVO4 laser is presented in this letter. A Qswitched output energy of as much as 2 mJ at 20 Hz with a pulse width of 170 ns was obtained. Single-frequency, nearly transform-limited operation of the laser was achieved by injection seeded

The different upconversion dynamic processes in Tm,Ho:GdVO4 crystal pumped by 100 fs pulse laser and continue-wave diode laser at 800 nm are analyzed. A phononhelped absorption theory is used to explain the different upconversion processes in Tm,Ho:YLF and Tm,Ho:GdVO4. In addition, the lifetime 16 µ
A room-temperature diode-end-pumped acoustooptical (AO) Q-switched Tm:GdVO4 laser was firstly reported. The minimum AO Q-switch pulse width was measured to be about 48 ns with output power of 2 W and repetition rate of 5 kHz. Continuous-wave output power of 2.8 W at 1912 nm was obtained under the ab
High power diode-pumped continuous wave (CW) and Q-switch operation of Tm,Ho:YVO4 laser is reported. Using two Tm,Ho:YVO 4 rods in a single cavity, up to 20.2 W of CW output lasing at 2054.7 nm was obtained under cryogenic temperature of 77 K with an optical to optical conversion efficiency of 32.9%
