Author:Strauss, Hencharl J; Bollig, C; Von Bergmann, M; Esser, MDDate:Jun 2009Aimed to compare the two materials directly under diode-end-pumping by performing thermal lens measurements during lasing with a HeNe probe beam using identical low-doped (0.15%), 4x4x18 mm3 crystals. Our setup was such that we could separately ...Read more
Author:Schellhorn, M; Ngcobo, S; Bollig, C; Esser, MD; Preussler, DR; Nyangaza, KDate:Jun 2009The aim is to develop a high-power Tm:YLF slab laser which can be utilized to pump a Ho slab laser. A 68 W Tm:YLF slab laser was recently presented in [1] pumped from one end by a single 6-bar stack delivering ~300 W of pump power. In this ...Read more
