Abstract

Abstract

A kind of all solid state Mid-IR laser system with high quality and high efficiency is built. Firstly, we use diode laser as the pump source, Tm³⁺:YAP crystal as the gain medium, to build a NIR laser with the wavelength of 1.97 μm. Secondly, we use NIR laser as the pump source, a self-made Cr²⁺:ZnSe single crystal as the gain medium, to build an all solid state Mid-IR laser. Finally, we test the quality and efficiency of output laser, and comparison of the theoretical output efficiency of the laser with the actual parameters is carried out. The experimental results show that light-light conversion efficiency of the all solid state Mid-IR laser is 17.2%; slope efficiency is 20%; the beam quality(M²) of the highest output at 3 W are respectively 1.7 and 1.73 in x and y direction; the Gaussian beam is circular.
- all solid state Mid-IR laser,
- Tm³⁺:YAP crystal,
- Cr²⁺:ZnSe single crystal,
- resonant cavity
